From far-away Denmark or England, I'd put eight units and a general on a boat, sail all the way to the Mediterranean coast of Spain or to Italy. Then I'd step ashore on a Catholic coast, declare Crusade, hire some Crusader units, step back on the boat and go the rest of the way by sea.

Also, do units with only one or two men left count toward the eight-unit limit?


Re: Stupidest thing.

I'm stuck on a boat, have lost my faith in the Crusade, and say to my self, "Self, as soon this boat finds some land, I'm deserting."

You've lost me, even though my rear may still be stuck on the boat for now.
