Right.
The Pope called a Crusade on Antioch. I was just about to reload, because it was such a glorious decision, on His Holyness's behalf. Anyway I decided well what the hell... I sent off one of my generals to Antioch... WHY ANTIOCH ? Pointless excercise in futility.
I took the city with ease, ransomed an Egy prince en route with his army for about 9K florins. This was early game so a lot of money then. Once I took Antioch, I simply occupied it.
Now in 1111 (still early game) it has 34,000 inhabitants and I have a garrison of about 1300 spear militia plus the poor sod general who got thrown down there.
What I really want is to Crusade on Acre, Aleppo and Jerusalem. 2 castles to recruit from and 2 cities.
Jerusalem first OFC (!), which gives 20% public order bonus for the rest of the game. However Antioch is eating up my finances. The Crusader army of about 1050 troops, Order Foot Soldiers, Crusader Knights etc complete with the Great Cross is sitting outside Antioch costing 2300 florins/turn upkeep. I can't move it because if I move the governor of Antioch out it goes below 60% public order on low tax rate.
Maybe I should have exterminated when I got the city ?
I also ran a series of cheats. I put in every possible law buildingm huge cathedral, the works..etc (which would take about 30 turns to complete normally), and still the city was only at 90% with normal tax rate AND population growth of 3%... ???!!!!
Which means eventually it will again dip below 75% public order because of population growth.
It's unmanageable.
85% is Catholic.
75% is distance to capital penalty (IIRC) and 80% squalor even with everything upgraded.
How are you supposed to manage this place ?
