Those Zany Crusaders

[Wolfgrin]

You just never know what's going to happen when an AI crusading army shows up. Is it going to stop at a coastline somewhere to fish and sunbathe for the next 40 turns? Will it make it to the destination only to stand there and chat it up with the other crusaders who are just standing there? Or will it stray off course and attack one of your cities without penalty?

That last one particularly annoys me, as you cannot attack them w/o being excommed.

Since the days of MTW1, crusades have been flaky.

My question to the SS modders, who have already worked miracles with this game, is: Any way to tidy up crusader behavior?

I like the idea of improving crusading armies A.I.

Right now, they seem to just ignore every possibly enemy heathen army on the way and race to the target. It'd be nice if they actually fought the armies in their way.
