Yeah, that's exactly the the sort of thing I had in mind! I won't be using the Crusade feature as it is in vanilla, so taking the settlement wouldn't be necessary for the "crusade" to be successful. I'm using it for a kingdom with a great reliance on war magic, so that before they attack a settlement, they "soften it up" with torrential rains, earthquakes and black plagues to cause havoc with the buildings and population, making it much easier for their strong but antiquated armies to take.

Thanks for the info lads!
