Your faction rests on an unstable power base of Frankish overlords who have subjugated the native peoples into a whole new Kingdom based on feudal values brought over from Europe.īecause of this, huge portions of your population will be of differing religion and culture, and this greatly affects your fighting roster, but that will be explained later.

Playing as the Kingdom of Jerusalem means Public Order will be one of your greatest issues. The Kingdom of Jerusalem is a challenging faction to play, but it can be rewarding with its great access to elite knights, diplomatic relations and important geographical position. Invasions, great plagues, famines, and climate change can all ravage the land.
