I generally hate the Italians. Right now I'm playing as Aragon in SS 4.1, and MAN... Crusade called on Granada, and Sicily and Venice send crusaders to take the town. Leon-Castille and I wind up taking the city (they lost a battle and I lost a battle, but destroyed them enough to take the city next few turns).

Then the Crusaders decide my fortress at Valencia looks tasty, so they attack it and in waves, too-my Army is busy with Moors in the center of Iberia, and my long time allies Portugual also attack me, so right now I'm close to bankrupt and may have nothing but Palma soon as my Spanish East Coast is under attack from 4-5 other Nations... All thanks to those nasty Italians.
