Make sure the Templars and Hospitallers are vassalized and remember to use them. They're composed mostly of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, and poo poo all over your neighbors' levies.

Get alliances with large Christian powers, like the Byzantines and HRE and France, at all costs.

Park your court chaplain in Rome and have his lips firmly planted on the Pope's rear end. If he likes you, he sends a lot of gold your way whenever you're fighting heathens, which as Jerusalem will be all the loving time.

Fighting Muslims can be a pain in the rear end because everyone has multiple wives, and each of them potentially come with an alliance. Consider bumping off a wife or two before you attack so your target doesn't have as many brothers-in-law to come to his aid. That said, if you attack with the Holy War CB this won't help, because coreligionists can help each other out even without alliances.

Once you're ready to expand, go after Egypt rather than further into Arabia. Egypt's stupidly wealthy and Alexandria and Sinai make fantastic vassal republics. When you make the Sinai one, make sure its capital is on the side facing the Red Sea. Otherwise it'll put trade posts in the Med, which is potentially more lucrative but is much more competitive.

Sweet. Thanks!

Goddamnit it's nearly impossible. I immediately get swamped by 20.000 angry sunni/shia men. Deus Vult! :argh:

Nope. Make that 2 armies of 15000 each. gently caress this. gently caress everything.

Just surviving from the earliest available timestamp.

Is it better if I start off with an earlier timestamp and then take the region by force when the first crusade kicks off?

Hmm....

Having the pope's liege be the emperor of the HRE is annoying. He keeps on excommunicating me, which makes the holy orders protecting my righteous rear end, to go away.

For some reason, giving one of my vassals the duchy of cornwall, set them up as a petty king in surrey. Without any cornwall provinces. :thunk:

The problem solved itself. One of my vassals decided to stab my other daughter.

Is there any way I can get kings under my benevolent imperial rule to give me levies?
