hordes and assaults

[jman47]

Ive been working on updating my mod which changes RR/RC back from 1100 to 1080 and makes the crusader states an emergent faction, as well as going 2tpy and increasing unit size/speed, to the latest version of RR/RC and all has been done, but im having problems with the emergent crusaders sacking jerusalem but not taking it. ive gone to the regions file and made the settlements i want them to take horde targets, but still no love.

here is a copy of the script ive been working with for it-

ive been getting some good advice in the modding help forum, but now feel i need some SS specific advice to get it working. note that the armies do everything correctly except when they assault they do not keep the settlement.

advice is appreciated, and any that leads to this working will get rep.
i know that the emergent script for the teutonic order works as designed, so maybe there is something from that script i can learn while tring to get this one to work?

thanks!
