Post here your crusade and/or jihad game experiences in the Sicilian Vespers Mod campaigns.
I'm playing here Sicily on a crusade, and approached just Jerusalem by taking Antiochia, led by Bohemund of Taranto, at 1100 AD (simulating the very first crusade). Thanks to my 2 ballista's, i was able to take this castle instantly ("garrison script"), it was nearly unguarded, as the Seljuks counted with an attack on Jerusalem ... lol.
This is with the still internal SV 2.1.
