Crusades are "Holy Wars" fought by Catholics against Muslims to take control of the holy land (Jerusalem, Acre, etc.). you can only participate in them if you are of the Catholic religion, not Orthodox. Only the Pope and Catholic factions can call crusades. You cannot participate in a crusade if you are excommunicated. Note however, if you are on a crusade and you get excommunicated your army might desert.
Crusade Units
Entering a crusade gives you access to special crusader units and sometimes a "fair in rule" trait. All crusader units are free until the crusade ends. You can keep these units after the crusade is finished but they will require upkeep. You can get
- Great Cross:A crusading carraccio standard.
- Crusader Knights: Like crusading french noble knights.
- Crusader Sergants: Crusading Armoured Sergants
- Unhorsed Knights: Crusading Dismounted Knights
- Templars and Hospitallars are crusading units that are available any time with the guilds.
Crusade Info
Once in a while the Pope calls in a crusade(first crusade always happens). Then a box will pop up saying join the crusade in ten turns or else. If nobody joins then the crusade ends.
Crusades are called on rebel cities, cities of Islam, and excommunicated cities. You can call a crusade if your favour points are high enough. The pope will probably call a crusade on the first city it sees.
The Muslim version of this is a Jihad.
