Confused Jihad

[4th Regiment]

In one of my games I was playing Serbs in late and was allied with Mameluks. Byzantines attacked me. My allies declared Jihad for Constantinople and soon 3 full stack jihad armies (Mameluk, IL-Khanate and Golden Horde) were around it. I made alliance with Golden Horde and Il-Khanate too, and using those jihad full stacks concurred Constantinople with only few units. I was curious what will happen next with Jihad, so I waited for at least 10 turns. Nothing happened, all 3 armies were just standing around my Constantinople –nor attacking me because I was their ally nor disbanding jihad. In good old MTW1 if jihad/crusade fails to get its objective in several turns jihad force would slowly fade away as people got demoralized. But this is weird.

Not sure about the stalling part but the Crusades/Jihads have special radiuses around the targets that turns off desertion. That's why they don't desert, for any reason.
