Childrens Crussade spawns in Orkney???

[Bugnr01]

So i took the Syria in the First Crussade and thought it would be nice to support the childrens crussade to get some christian aid in the holy land. So far so good, they "reached" Antioch , i chose to assist them and a Crussade for Jerusalem was lanched. I mobilised my troops but could not find the Crussades Army, at least not in or near the middle east. They spawned a 93k army in Orkney. How? WHY? They will get eaten up by attrition and never reach the Holy Land.Is this WAD?

Most likely. They didn't achieve much IRL either.

Does any of the current Jerusalem rulers own land in Orkney?

As much as I love the CB system in CK this is one of CK's engine's biggest flaws - wars are against inviduals not titles, so if by some freak inheritance they own plot of land across the map you have to siege it down to get 100%.

Happened to me too if the children's crusade leader is being educated by someone he constantly ports back to the court of the one educating him and the troops spawn in the province where he is. For me that meant ireland.

I think they just spawn in a random christian court, guess paradox never considered that they don't get boats.

They don't get boats because the event chain is suposed to be moving the character towards the holy land. The last event before their troops spawn says that they are at antioch which is probably where they are suposed to spawm, but again since they are being educated elsewhere that is where they spawn.

They can just use the Channel Tunnel

They ought to restrict it to mainland Europe that's for sure, not only from this perspective but also the limited population of the islands in Europe at this time.

Just because the instigator comes from the islands doesn't mean most of his followers do.

Also they should spawn a french courtier with crusader in his court who would be automatically made his educator.

I once had the crusade fire off using my characters nephew as the leader, suffice to say I fully supported him and sent all of my armies over to help him take Jerusalem. He founded a pretty great bloodline from it too, but I never managed to bring it to the main family before that branch was wiped out due to disease, murder, or war.

 

[TheDungen]

Yeah they pretty much only win if you win the war for them.

But then again this is the game where there apparently exist 60000 angry armed peasants (and/or sheep) on a small tile in the center of Ireland ready to rebel when you refuse to genocide the cats
