How to have fun with a boring faction

[ramela]

I find it funny that I just though about this twist myself yesterday and now I find this thread.

My first instinct was starting with the Danes or Scots, (I love those Viking Raiders/Highlanders,) giving most of my (early expansion aquired) lands to the pope to get my pope-o-meter up for a crusade and using the crusade to relocate my empire free of upkeep and with cheap extra unit recruitment. And donate the rest of my homeland to the church after settling in on Jerusalem.
