Abandoning Crusades

[Whacker]

I tried starting a crusader army near Florence, and still got the same rubbish units (well, I did get a Monster Mercenary Ribault too, which was entertaining once it got close enough to actually do something). What do you have to do to get a True Cross?

IIRC you get that on the Italian penninsula.

So you have to go farther south than Florence? Maybe I needed to be in Rome?
