I wonder who that was...?

There must be a limit, if only because of the data type used in the program. The variables that store this kind of data are usually limited for obvious reasons. jihads/crusades have a main banner on the map piece that fills up then turns red and moves back one level, then a second banner is used. This goes on until you have several full banners. I'm not sure of the limitation on the number of banners, or whether that would that would effect the crusade/jihad. I would say not. It would probably continue to fill up until you would get the "no more room" message, but if that never appears and it continues to increase in size, then I would say that eventually it would overflow and crash the game.
