    Default Starting the Crusades right

    Is there any way to prevent Crusade declaration until 1095 and to ensure that the first target is Jerusalem?

    I've seen times where almost every crusade declared is against some place in Europe and is often canceled. It would be better if the game would favor heathen targets in the first century or two while targeting the Pope's enemies in Europe later on.

    Unfortunately I haven't a clue how this could be modded.

    check the tutorials, it might be there somewhere how to change crusade targets, im not sure however that you can change the criteria over time though.

    i tend to call crusades myself to expand directly, or to occupy the enemy while i attack them... old pope + just declared crusade = weakened enemies and no retaliatory crusade on my lands.

    Historically the first crusade should be Jerusalem. But in SS, the Egyptians are not always the first to capture that city. Sometimes it goes from rebel to Christian right away. Then a crusade would not make any sence.

    Same here, I too do not want the Popes wrath in my back yard. Seducing him into a crusade works nicely.

    I allied with Pope early so he never called Crusade on me, and only one on Egypt my ally which Egypt easily handed

    I regret making an alliance with the Pope. I thought it odd that it was even possible, but unfortunately he never broke the alliance even after we began to have abysmal relations. Why have the alliances been made so tight anyway? I eventually took Rhodes and gave it to the Pope (who had no land) in exchange for canceling the alliance.

    Perfectly Polished used to have that feature but the man had to go nuts at one point and we can't see his great mod anymore.
