Can Catholic factions attack Crusading armies?
I have an army of Crusaders, and to get to the Target I need to send it through either the Holy Roman Empire or Milan, both of whom want to boil my brains alive. I noticed that I could not attack the Milanese because they are Catholic, is this favour returned?
I support Israel

They can't attack you unless they've been excommunicated, AFAIK.
Re: Can Catholic factions attack Crusading armies?
I am greatly relieved!
Re: Can Catholic factions attack Crusading armies?
Yes, this is very handy when a faction is at war with you and has ships in the way of your crusading sea route. You just sail past and wave!
Re: Can Catholic factions attack Crusading armies?
I do believe that you could attack Catholic factions even if you are on a crusade to a non catholic target

Re: Can Catholic factions attack Crusading armies?
Catholic armies can attack a crusade stack, but doing so means excommunication AND completely screws relations with other catholic factions. So the AI ignore the crusade 99% of the time.
The only time I've seen the AI attack a crusade, was a danish crusade of 1 general marching through HRE lands....
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

I sense some inconsistencies within the AI.

iirc, the AI doesn't suffer desertion penalties

AI catholic factions don't have to attack crusading armies to cause problems - they can simply block the route of your crusading army - which if it detours may then suffer desertions.
Oh and don't you just love it when you go to land a crusading army outside Antioch and you can't because there's a merchant and an iman standing in the way.
