An issue with the Jihad (and the byzantines madness!)

[blutsager]

To make things quick, I want to declare a Jihad against constantinople (or at least any byzantine town). but on the list of towns that I can "Jihad", there isnt any Byzantine town. How does the game decide which towns will appear on the "Jihad" list?.

By the way, I dunno if it is working wrong or what, but so far, I played 4 long campaings, and always Byzantines become the army of armageddon, or in simplier words, they have such a huge army, that if the 2º 3º 4º and 5º military superpowers ally agains the Byzantines (who are obviously 1º), they would still loose. I am not kidding. On one game, I am on turn 120 aprox. and they are reaching almost 5 million military forces... and they still earn something like 40.000 coins per turn! They earn even more than me, the abassid caliphate, but the problem is I only have 20.000 military forces!.

Anyway, back to the point, how does the game choose which cities appear on the list to declare a jihad? is there a way to change them without a cheat? or if necesary, a cheat?.

I remember someone saying it is decided by the number of Muslims in that city. So the more Muslims you have the higher the option will be in the menu.

Maybe send a priest to convert them??

My second time playing this game was as ERE, on VH/VH. I crushed the Seljuks of Rum and eventually vassalized them, same for Georgia and the Kypchaks. Egypt was incredibly tough, probably the hardest to fight besides the paramaras, because they had endless hordes of really OP units.
