📜 History of Saladin & the 3rd Crusade: A Crusade's End - Things look bleak for Saladin. Richard I had returned and the Lionheart can be seen right outside Jerusalem. Internally, his coalition is starting to fracture. There are divisions amongst his advisors and amongst his soldiers. He's certain that this is the end. But his camp isn't the only one troubled by desperate divisions. The Crusaders are beginning to see cracks in their structure as well. Who can outlast whom?

It doesn’t make sense to me why Christians and Muslims would even be enemies. I’m not a religious person but the two share the same fundamental, foundational doctrines. They have very similar codes of conduct and morality. Islam and Christianity are beautiful philosophies and religions, and both have sadly been corroded in part due to the wills of power-hungry political and religious leaders, and the dogmatic tendencies of those with uncritical worldviews.

No you're wrong, the only person who was considered as Sword of Islam was Khalid ibn Walid, Yusuf(Saladin) was called Salah-ad-Din/Saladin meaning the Righteous of Religion.

More like Charisma and Luck. Without charisma he will not be able to create favorable elements that eventually allow him to be lucky -- good and loyal brother, competing local kings that still support him just by sending letters, and sympathy that he received from his enemies which allowed him to took diplomatic action -- all comes from max CHA stats.

@@Secret_Moon For a muslim that's actually not a bad thing. He believes and knows that there is no perfect earth, so I imagine he was grateful for achieving the thing he did manage to achieve namely holding the already fractured states unified and established for a good while under his influence and after. For a muslim like him, it's not so much the victory and the material glory of winning that matters, that's just the icing of the cake, rather the point of it was to face those challenges and do your best facing them and then dying knowing you've spent all you could towards what you genuinely believe is a good cause. That's why you see that he also had no wealth on him as he was dying, the point of it was to spend it all while he could because in his heart there's a destination he's going to where it is his intentions and actions that will have any merit rather than his material achievements.

@@Secret_Moon Actullay no. His ultimate goal was to secure Al Quds (Jerusalem) for Muslims and he achieved that goal.

Maybe extra history will show us sometime more of what was happening in Europe while the kings were away?

Richard and Saladin the two great characters of the 3rd crusade. Despite having a high opinion of each other, never met face to face. Saladin at first did not allow Richard to meet him, probably due to anger at the massacre at Acre. And after his defeat Richard was heartbroken and refused to go to pilgrimage in Jerusalem as a loser and also to meet Saladin.
