Early Era Campaign: Jerusalem Emerges and the First Crusade

[Banzai!]

I have an interesting idea of how to simulate the emergence of the KOJ in the Early Era Campaign and also the First Crusade.

Now in campaign_script.txt we have those monitors to tell us when Jerusalem is captured.

We can change these monitors to spawn the KOJ if a Muslim nation conquers Jerusalem, like so:

;;; Turks capture Jerusalem
monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = turks
and I_CompareCounter Jerusalem_Turks = 0

This spawns a "first crusade" at France of 3 stacks under Godfrey, Tancred and Bohemund (I forget the other leaders of the first crusade) if the Turks takes Jerusalem (although really it should be if Nicaea is taken).

If only Jerusalem is made a horde_target in descr_regions.txt:

has_family_tree yes

then we have a crusader army (horde) that will make its way to Jerusalem, "living off the land" (pillaging, which is what the first crusade did in Hungary and Byzantine territory) along the way.

This also gets KOJ to emerge. And if they take Jerusalem ... we have the Kingdom of Jerusalem. If they fail .. the KOJ never existed.





Not savegame compatible I believe. Also I haven't tested it yet.
But if you take Jerusalem the old gang should spawn (Bohemund, Tancred, Godfrey, Adhemar, Peter (the Hermit) and Stephen of Blois). People's crusade is also simulated.

map.rwm needs to be deleted.

What happens if Jeru is conquered in the meantime, eg. by the Templars or other christian faction? Will they still march and lay siege to it, effectively declaring war on their fellow christians?
