In my current campaign as the moors (VH/h) im being harassed by various catholic factions.
I took Toulouse from the french and 3-4 turns later the pope issues a crusade against toulouse. It's now been about 10 turns and i've killed stack after stack and this doesnt seem to stop
I took rome about 5 turns after the crusade was issued and the pope was killed during my siege, yet nothing has changed (I'm aware that he will re-surface).
SO, my questions is for how long will the catholic factions try to take back toulouse? Will the crusade expire eventually?

And one last thing,,, I issued a jihad against rome and sent one full stack to lay siege (which turned out fine, I took the settlement 3 turns after the jihad was issued by my imam)
but as i clicked the button 'Exterminate populace' a window popped up that said "Jihad cancelled" ?
