Recruit
-I'm new to the mod, but I wanted to go ahead and express my difficulty with playing as the Crusaders. In the game I'm currently playing, the Crusaders have only asked me to join them in invasion twice in my 23 levels. They've made virtually no progress, and have actually lost three castles and a city. I have, personally, taken 5 castles and 2 cities (though haven't received the titles) but the Crusaders never stock them with more than about 15 units so they are lost again soon enough. I don't know how to help the Crusaders not lose.
-One of the main issues is that Poland has nothing to do, really, but attack the Crusaders. They share only a small border with one other nation (Rus), so they might as well just attack what's near by. They run around in groups of 6 or 7 lords, when I've never seen more than three Crusader lords together. That's only made worse with the constant supply of Polish heavy cavalry. Fortunately, that will never be as annoying as the Kerghit in the native game.
-Is this purely bad luck with the AI, or does anyone have any advice?
---------The following added later just for the sake of completion----------
-I've now personally taken more than half of the rest of Poland, the rest of the Crusaders accomplishing nothing. In fact, the Landmeister has been circling around Voruta the entire time I was taking over Poland. He has twice asked me to join him, despite the fact that he only circles around, trying desparately to lose. It's as if he's a puppet leader sent by the Poles.
