Crusading army stuck. What do?

**ckndr** · January 20, 2012, 08:39 PM

I've been playing as Venus and convinced pope to declare Crusade on Frankfurt. By the time my crusading army reached Frankfurt, its blocked by French's crusading army to the south and Poland's crusading army to the east. They both made truce with HRE and now just are standing there next to Frankfurt blocking my way. I can't lay siege on Frankfurt as its blocked by other armies. And unlike AI, my army is gonna desert soon.
What should I do now? I don't care about successful crusade, but I do care about my army deserting away.

Take them out of the crusade. Click the same button you pressed to enter them into it.

But when I take them out of the crusade, Only general leaves the crusade and rest of the army still has cross in their cards and they desert next turn.

Venus? I assume you mean Venice...

If I were you, I would use the console to give the army more movement points and go around the others.

In case you don't know how...

1)Press the console key (Mine is the @ key)

2)Type this in, exactly as you see it

character_reset "General's Name_Here"

Movement points is not the problem. The problem is that I can't attack the city from any direction. Its crossed out when my mouse cursor is over it. Cause other armies have blocked it from all the sides.
I would post screen shot but when I print screen it, I just get black screen posting it on paint.

Declare war on either France or Poland, destroy their crusading stack and march onto Frankfurt. The successful crusade will fix(and perfect) your reputation with the pope after destroying an enemy crusading army(hoping you have enough favor to not get outright excommunicated that is).

I can't declare war on another crusading catholic faction with my crusading army. I didn't try declaring war with non crusading army. I'll try it next time. I ended up taking other cities until my army died and deserted and cancelled my crusading plan.
