Demanding support for Crusade

[Eustreptospondy]

Just a short issue, I am playing as the King of Jerusalem and currently defending against a Jihad. The Pope has launched a Crusade against Anatolia and is now cross with me that I refused to join the crusade or grant money to it, as I'd rather defend Jerusalem from the Muslims...

I know, that the Catholic Church and reason... or intelligence... or prudent behaviour are usually diagonally opposed, but I'd still like to see the Pope in this game not being such a giant tit and conceding that losing Jerusalem for Anatolia is a bad trade.

Agreed. This is a fuck-up from my side. I'll see if I have time to add an extra check, so people aren't being Great Holy War'd when the Pope demands them to Crusade.

Unrelated issue, but still about crusade and I don't know where to post it (sorry)...
@Snow Crystal I just tried the new crusade mechanics and when my recipient was granted a county under the new king, I had no option to switch to this character. Does that mean I missed something?

In another thread somebody mentioned that the event to switch took some time unpaused to fire. Have you tried waiting a month in game?

I didn't have time to continue playing yesterday, but I'll try it this week end when I go back to my computer. Thank you!

This reminded me of something that happened last night.

Along comes the Pope, and he wants to go on a Holy War. So, being a good little pious girl, Countess Kristina heartily agreed to send a detachment of righteously indignant holy warriors to battle in the name of God. Unfortunately.. plague.

My young and lovely Countess had to Shut The Gates (and she felt terrible about it) because of a nasty plague that the Norwegians* had invited into England in their desire for world conquest. The Countess would have stayed true to her promise to the Pope, but for the safety of Cornwall she kept everything shut up nice and tight, choosing not to send any men.

End result, the Pope has a -15 opinion of me for the next 5(?) years because apparently the wanton slaughter of hundreds of thousands of men in the name of God is more important than the survival and safety of my people.
I found it rather amusing that the Pope would be all upset about this.


* It might have been the Norwegians. Could have been an uprising of pissed off Englishman rioting against Norwegian rule.

If I recall correctly, it takes 4-7 days for the event to trigger after a Crusade has finished. It was so people wouldn't accidentally click it away together with the "CRUSADE VICTORY!" announcement. The only times it does not work as intended (as far as I know), is if either the character you played when the Crusade was finished or the beneficiary who got the lands die within the time-frame between Crusade victory and event to switch fires. There is some sketchy outcomes if we aren't careful with who we let the player change to playing, so we ended up deciding that was fine, as it is a relatively rare thing to happen.

I will retry as soon as I can. Thank you.
