Nonsense. In my Scottish game I've used a crusade to claim the holy lands and I've held them well. But it is a struggle to hold cities there, make no mistake. I only kept 2-3 cities there and surrounded them with castles. No matter where castles are, they are very very easy to keep happy.

Shame once a city hits a certain limit you can never turn it to a castle. Surely if you entire a city with 12K+ pop and you slaughter them, you should be able to build a castle? Just means it's annoying if you capture a city in a vunerable position since you have no ability to fortify it.
