The Orthodox Church however, will not be subject to that because the Eumenical Patriarchy never issues a crusade. For example: If the Sultanate of Rum defeats Georgia and takes Derbent, then it is possible for a crusade to happen so Derbent goes to Catholic hands.Īlso, note that any heretic nation can be a target of a Crusade, so keep Religious authority high to not become a heretic. Targets of the crusade usually have done things diplomatically that ruins the politics of a certain nation. Or if your nation is very powerful with massive levies ready to be deployed like the Holy Roman Empire, you can go solo and defeat the target alone. For example, if the target is Egypt in the 13th century, 13th century France will need some help from other nations like Scotland or the Holy Roman Empire to assist in that crusade. When a Crusade is called, it is highly recommended to get allies to join, especially if the target of a Crusade is extremely powerful. While early in the game as in 1070's crusades might also be ordered to take a pagan nation. To a Catholic nation that does not follow the Crusade order, the opinion of the Pope will usually be decreased by -15 and to those who follow, will get an increase of +20. Every once in a while, the Pope will order a Crusade to the Catholic nations to fight an infidel, usually to a Muslim nation.
