How many turns before you can have a new crusade?

[Jan Zamoyski]

I would like to know that too.

I think any crusader army out there must either be destroyed or disbanded for another one to be called.

[Ciddler]

I'd say around 10 rounds. I checked after a Jihad after 5 rounds he didn't allow a new one, so I'm just guessing. I'll declare a Jihad and check every round to see how long it really takes.

That is true, but it goes on long beyond that. How far beyond that? I don't know.

a new pope being elected does not cause the crusade timer to get reset.
I'm not 100% on this but it seems like it takes 20 turns and nothing else.

My story to back up my claim.
-I had a successful crusade to Jerusalem in the 20 something turn.
-10 turns later one of my cardinals became the pope.
-From the first crusade i was checking if i could launch a new one every 2-3 turns.
- in the 40 something turn i was able to request a new crusade.
