Crusade Not Firing?

[Windlife]

Got all the events for the pope, like I usually do, saying that he's about to call a crusade. But then nothing happens. He's been sitting there for close to 30 years do nothing while the Muslims are roasting us left and right with their jihads. It's already 1120ish and I'm starting get worried.

I know one trigger for the crusades is that Jerusalem is already Muslim. But that's already the case. Is there a max time trigger for the crusade?

Sorry if I sound mad, because I don't mean to, but this just hurts right in the history. :c

Also, I'm not sure with this is a HIP issue or not, but I'm using HIP and thought maybe the changes to Crusades in this mod has something t o do with it. Not sure, but be free to correct me and tell me this is just a normal ck2 issue.

I've gotten crusade events, it just takes a Pope with particular personality traits maybe? Because I was in the same situation as you, no crusades firing, I was worried etc... then the Pope died, we got a new one, and less than a year later he called a Crusade.

Once in my game(William Conqueror scenario) Pope called crusade on still muslim Sicilly(also quite late). It was pretty plausible historically


On the other hand I do not remeber successful crusade on Jerusalem, Egypt is too strong

In my current game the Crusade for Jerusalem was successful. And the Kingdom of Jerusalem has been in existence for 150 years now. Got wiped out by a Jihad but restored by a crusade 5 years later. Your mileage may very
