Can I push back the Crusades?

[Samurye]

As you know, in CK the crusades usually begin mush earlier than in real life. I would like to make it so that crusades cannot be called earlier than 1090, for both historical and gameplay reasons. How can I do this, or has someone else already done it?

Yes, that can be done

You can add a condition to all Crusade-events that they shouldn't fire before a certain year, the command should look like this, if you want them to start after 1099

condition = { type = year value = 1099 }


Or what you also can do is disable the crusade-events completely in Crusader Kings/db/events.txt, put a # in front of this line

#event = "db\events\Crusader_Events.txt"

When you then think the time is right you can remove the # again.

It works! Thank you!

With time you will come to realize it's useless to push it back though. Because the AI takes its sweet time to actually do something and actual crusading at least in my last few games happened in the end of the 90s and beginning of 1100s
