Call for Jihad?

Meet Khaireddin. He's dead now.

However, back in the day, he was the (adult convert?) Count of Orania, and one of my vassals, my Kingdom being that of Aquitainia, Navarre, Africa, and Mauretania. What happened was that he declared a Muslim sultanate or whatever in one of my lands and I defeated and vassalized him.

Apparently, his father was Muhammad (tee hee) of Mecca, who ruled the Emirate of Medina.

During one of my wars with them, at some point I must've killed him through battle and so the newly Christianized son became Duke of Medina.

Right now I own enough of the Hedjaz to be considered Duke of Arabia Felix. I don't own Mecca itself yet, however. The point is shouldn't there be something that kicks into gear when a Christian (or, in a gonzo game, a pagan) takes control of the holy cities of Islam? Shouldn't a Muslim equivalent of crusade kick in? Or maybe a special attribute that makes all of them have a vendetta against you? Maybe if you loot the holy cities your BB goes up for religious enemies?

What causes the Pope to declare Crusade? If Jerusalem, Rome, Byzantion, Antioch, Alexandria are in heathen hands, where else? Could such a thing be reverse-modified for Muslims?

I just conquered Mecca as King of Aquitania. The holiest city of Dar al-Islam is in kaffir hands. This ain't right.

I don't think this is possible, Crusade start through events. But also a lot of things (AI response, piety-penalty and so on) are hardcoded.

One "jihad" that is included with vanilla DV is the counter-crusade, which makes muslims attack the holder of Jerusalem as long as the crusade is active.

As for crusade targets -- Cordoba and Burgos are also Crusade Targets. In my own game I added a few more like the province Königsberg is in, to simulate the Baltic Crusades, and for completeness' sake added a couple of the often-conquered Christian realm's capitals to take care of cases where a muslim or pagan conquers them.

A real jihad is also possible -- I have such an event in my game. Any time Mecca or Medina are owned by non-muslims, an independent muslim lord who is king-level or multiduke gets the option to DoW the province owner.
The problem with an event like this is setting adequate triggers -- I don't want it to become impossible for people to hold the provinces, or for muslims to self-destruct while fighting over it. But it seems to be working okay, I'll have to check if I already included it in the DVIP addon, if not I'll track it down and post it in the event scripting subforum soon.

Is it going to be a Mod of some sort or it's just thoughts out loud ?
