City Minutes: Crusader States

Crusading is one thing, but holding your new kingdoms is a much trickier business. See how the many Christian states of "Outremer" rolled with the punches to evolve in form and function over multiple centuries.

Blue, your regular tirades against the European Crusaders would not bother me IF they were accompanied by regular or even occasional tirades against Moslem Crusaders. Zoroastrians in Persia, Africans in Ghana, Hindus in what is now Pakistan, ... a very large number of people slaughtered and dispossessed which I'd guess vastly exceeds the sum total of "The Crusades"
