I'm so sorry, don't be confused...
simply I'm from Poland...:D there most people doesn't have problems with Poland - we conquer all Europe easly ;)
in this game and most other strategic games Poland has great cavalry as in history...
use it! Polish Retainers, in Moldovia "half-Kataphraktai" Avar "Nobility", in Kiyv, Chegnihov, Chazar, Chazar Bulgaria - Steppe Heavy Cavalry with arcers is my favourite unit.
So firstly conquer rebels then you must look for the weakest country (for sure in early period don't fight against Bizantium, HRE). Hungary is rich (money from Poland and Hungary gives u rich country), but has a lot cavalry, so subjective I suggest first to conquer Russians.
At beginnings divide ur army on sufficent to conquest rebels...
and I don't need help to create crusade in Poland, I have found this topic:http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=182528
