First there was the crusade itself, which lasted a good six and a half years and killed more than a hundred thousand men.
Since the first crusade began in late 966, I've done nothing but fight muslims. I have venice, five small counties in the ankle of italy, the kingdom of Jerusalem, and the duchy of Acre. The green stuff is the total extent of my territory. There's definitely more of a sense of accomplishment going from one county to an entire empire, and I learned more than I ever did in any of my previous campaigns (which included several attempts at the byzantines, most ended by stacks of doom from the south, one or two by rebellions after I lost most of my armies repelling stacks of doom). The more you take the more power you have, and in that game I went on to conquer all of Ireland, Brittany (northeast France), various additional parts of France, Wales, a third of Scotland, and England, and founded the Empire of Alba and removed numerous irritating English nobles from power who I had neglected to remove in my war of conquest, before the new DLC and patch hit and screwed up my (ironman) game, and I stopped playing since it wasn't possible to roll it back to the previous version (because Ironman). Then I used my family connection to a neighboring province to take another province, and so on, and shortly became a duke, then had over half of Ireland, and became King.
What I did myself which made things a whole lot clearer was to start as Dublin, without using ruler designer. The common suggestion of starting in Ireland is actually a good one.
