Introduction
Crusade over Europe is a Medieval themed Grand Strategy map that beside featuring the ordinarily found medieval arsenal and equipment will also have as a key element a Religion system which will contain Crusades and Jihads.
Another key and distinct component will be the Supply & Nutrition system which will test your logistic understanding, making it more valuable to master than Tactics and Strategies.
Supplies will be needed to fuel your armies march to the Holy Lands, making it harder for you to orchestrate grand campaigns without a plan.
Set your taxes on High while you set on a mighty Crusade!

Gameplay and Mechanics
You begin with a Settler which you will use to choose your starting location.
The location you choose will influence which Faction you will get:
The location you choose will influence which Faction you will get:
- Factions:
-Western Europe
-Eastern Europe
-Byzantium
-Middle East
Each faction has it's own exclusive architecture, units and upgrades and play differently from each other much like the Races in Warcraft 3.
More so Each faction will have it's own Sub-factions which will burrow from their parrent faction Architecture and units but will have different units and upgrades along with unique units; France, England, Turks etc.. - Combat: will revolve around unit counters and powerful combination of units.
- Economy: is based around income gained from City Taxes and Ores and special events such as Crusades or Jihads.
- Public Order: will determine whether you will keep your recently captured cities or have them revolt against you. There are many ways to influence this, the best way being to set the taxes to low.
There are also several events that can influence the amount of Public Order, Taxes and Population your City will have.
- Religion: There are 3 Religions: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Islam. Each religion has their own benefits and mechanics (such as Crusades for Catholics). Catholics will also have access to a college of Cardinal with the chance of having one of their bishops becoming the Bishop of Rome, Pope.
- Diplomacy: You can ally anyone freely but there will be penalties if you choose to ally someone of different religion or faction.
