Have you ever noticed that the "Join/Leave Crusade" button and the "View Defenders/Attackers" buttons are next to each other on the 'preparing crusade' screen?
Well, they are. Ever clicked the wrong one? I just did, and it ruined a month's worth of Ironman campaigning. I'm so used to how buttons normally work in CK2 that I didn't even realize I'd left the Crusade for a moment. After all, diplomatic actions require hitting the send button, disbanding requires confirming, and so on. So surely, I thought, you can't just leave a crusade and be unable to return with just one errant click. That would be madness, right?
No, that's exactly how things are. You get no feedback when you press the button, no confirmation, you're just out of the crusade, and you can't rejoin for a year. If there's less than a year until the crusade starts, well, then you're sitting this crusade out. Even if you were the main force behind it. And if you're on ironman? No options, nothing can be done.
"Sorry guys, but a power higher than God has commanded that my armies sit back and watch you all die under the unbeliever's blade! I can't rejoin the crusade because I, uh, well, I pressed a button wrong? I don't know what that means either but the hand in the sky tells me it's very bad. "
Please, add a confirmation message before leaving a crusade. Or even replace the "can't rejoin a crusade you left until one year has passed" with some sort of escalating piety cost for rejoining repeatedly, in case there's some weird exploit that this draconian penalty is guarding against.
This is the most immersion-breaking misclick I've found in 9 years of playing.
