New Teutonic Knight

[Siculus]

I'm playing as the TK for my first time. From where do your leaders come? I know I can "build" generals when my fortress expands far enough, but is that it? Are there more adoptions?

Thanks.

I'm playing the Teutonic Knights (Deutscher Orden) as well, and I can assure you there will be several adoptions.

You can train generals too in upgraded fortresses, but 15 turns or somehat have to elapse before you can train a new one again, so they're kind of a 'rare element' .

It all comes with the idea, that TK were not a dynasty with a bloodline, but rather an aristocratic, closed society allowing only the best knights to come to the top.

wait so that recruitable "generals bodyguard" turns into a general?

No, he has to be adopted to be a "family member", but there isn't a real family tree in TK, as - again be said - they were not a dynasty with bloodline.

So it doesn't really matter, as he can't have a child by being family member either.

Yep, the Teutons didnt have a damn bit of a family. Instead they used guys like Orden Marshall, who I believe was in control of Administration and Military operations of Prussia. Id have to read my book on them again to check.

BTW, you have a kick-ass sig.

Any idea where I can recruit order spearmen from as they dont seem to be available?

You have to "adopt" generals to get new ones unless you build them. Thats like it was in the Teutonic campaign.

They are available from a Garrison Quarters and up in a castle. If you have RealRecruitment or Grim Reality III installed there are other requirements though.

Do as I usually do. Make an army without a character in it, fight few battles against enemies (heroic victories are the best for that) and you should get a new character adoption chat. It depends if he will have a lot of dread of chivalry, either you will execute the enemies or let them go free.

wait, is it like this too for the knights templar? i mean, they were an order too, right? if so, how come i have a family tree in my templar campaign? i mean, i've never adopted generals, my "sons" just come of age
