Unfortunately the pacifist Pope puts another dent to my plan. He has reconciled with the nation of Venice after their leader was killed, resoning that the reason why the nation was excomunicated was due to the Doge's belligerent and un-Christian actions, and now, with the leader dead, there was no reason for the rest of the country to be excomunicated.
This now makes my plan to take Venice's capital more complicated.
However, my mood turned when I heard an almost miraculous news. Somehow Hungary and Egypt has entered into a ceasefire. The beaucracies, the leadership, and the military of that country must have been out of sync, as now the Hungarian crusader had no choice but to life the siege.
Alberto took the opportunity swiftly and laid siege to the Holy City itself, preventign Hungary from any future attempt to re-engage the Egyptians again.
