RM3 crusade

[searriagh]

How do you unleash a crusade? can anybody explain how the system works.
Thanks

As far as I know you have to simply build the building labeled start a crusade(it appears as a cross in your building available queue) and you'll be able to recruit crusaders(and better crusaders as you build hte new buildings that come available)

As far as I know, nothing else changes though.

In the future, perhaps there could be some scripted missions from the Vatican... to make it more interesting

But can't this be abused?
I am currently playing wi the Byzantines and I am fighing the Crusaders. They have these "crosss" building in alla their settlements and they are just spamming Hospitalers and Templars (dismounted) which greatly outmatch my own infantry. I have seen full stacks of only these knights and they are very hard to contain.

[Mataputas]

My only advise would be to use cavalry. It's overpowered at the time =D

[Ephialtes]

And so I do!

[searriagh]

But I already can recruit dismounted knights almost right away from building the chapters sowhat benefit do I get from building the cross.?

[searriagh]

Anybody worked this out yet?
