What does Crusade Proclomation Do?

[The Lacedaemonian]

read the title. anyway what does it do and when and how should i use it?

[Henry of Grosmont]

If I'm not mistaken, you can:
a) Conquer any non-Catholic province, or excommunicated catholic one;
b) Recruit unique units, that you couldn't have without Crusade (and they all require less or no upkeep than regular ones);
c) Better relationship with the Pope.
That's what I remember so far.

[Lusted]

He means for CTW rufats, not M2TW.

[communisto]

yeah, how does the crusade proclamation work?

[Lusted]

From what i read in the building description, it basically simulates the population loss of a crusade as your people go to the Holy land whilst you march an army there to capture the province. Once you've taken your target province, you build a new building there and demolish the crusade proclomation in the settlement you built it in.

[The Lacedaemonian]

can it make crusade units?

[Atterdag]

If you build the crusader state proclamation then yes it can.

[Lusted]

And that you can only build in certain places. I was surprised to find i could build one in Malta once i'd taken it in my Sicily campaign.

[DaVinci]

Yep, Atterdag and Lusted are correct.

This is, what irecently posted on scc due to the same question:

The crusade proclamation in some of the european major cities is rather something for the flavour, but correct, you will get info about the crusade goals. And for realism, it has a little minus pop-growth, to reflect the pilgrims/crusade followers etc., which were indeed numerous in those times of crusades. But you can as well build an "end of crusade-proclamation" building, to revert the pop-growth back. Plus, the minus pop-growth can help in later settlement developments against squalor, if you have actually too much pop-growth, or just you would like to avoid a too fast growth.

The actual crusade-state foundation (with a lot of boni) happens then in the crusade goal regions.

To make it a bit complete: The crusade proclamation shall increase also the historical imagination, that you feel like a crusader then, and it just explains actually the goals (and circumstances), if you really read the description :wink:

[The Lacedaemonian]

hm... since population decrease, do the people go to Malta or Cyprus and increase population there? (if it doesnt it would be cool if it could)

Yes, it's all in the mod already, crusader state proclamation enables significant pop-growth, what you will need, if you call out the martial law parallel.
But before i explain it to the "z", just test it out, it should be pretty self-explanable, if one reads the descriptions/properties of these kinds of "buildings".

[The White Knight]

Hey Davinci, I love the crusades! I've managed to succesfully pull off a little crusade to Malta, were I got some nice crusader units (Crusaders sergeants and spearmen to be precise). Is there any chance of ever seeing "Turcopoles", or Knights from certain Orders (perhaps these are outside the early era's timeframe)?

[Angmar_nite]

look at the building browser. There is another crusades building a step up from proclimation. You get some really cool units there. Hospitlers, templars, and a few others.i only found out after I took jerusalem.

P.s> is it just me or does the travel distances of units shorten after each turn.

[Davidus Pertinax]

i cant recruit templar knights, anyone know how can i recruit them?

Anyone? Naturally i know it and will help you out: They are available for England and France in the certain crusader state regions only, and with the required building.

Look into FAQ also, to learn to browsing the building-browser to see actually in which region/settlement you can build which kind of building and which kind of unit. The tech-tree and the building-descriptions will tell you everything.

No, unfortunately, the Poles cannot crusade. Only the HRE, England, France and Sicily. Sucks, don't it?

[jaklei]

im having some troubles with theese martial law and the others, firstly the martial law do not give the NEGATIVE effects of having it on. its kinda funny that noone gets ****** of (or die for that matter) when you go around hanging people for being outside. and the Crusade proclamation does NOT have an info about the specific crusade goal, maybe you only need 1 crusade proclamation

[Grand Master of the Order]

The negative effects of martial law and other buildings do work!
A building cannot produce a real negative effect, it can only affect the granted positive effects of other buildings, but not basic effects of the city itself (e.g. harvest) or those of your governor (traits and ancillaries).
