What i meant is take Palermo and then start taking africa and converting it.
Regarding the naval aspect, what i miss, is the AI defending its coastal cities better. Especially Egypt seems to be empty once they get closer to capturing Jerusalem.
England is pretty weak in my campaigns, especially as they mainly try to go for the stronger cities which are easy to defend. If a crusade comes in, usually their best troops are out for a long time. And going for Frankfurt is vital due to the money it gets you, alongside with the option to slowly start advancing towards Italy and the big castles north and east.
Gonna start a new campaign next couple of days, maybe as Venice, just in order to try and redo what that guy with Pisa did, feeling pretty comfortable after spending hundreds of hours on this mod. Maybe ill just fix the crown before, not sure yet.
