[Gothic_Knight]

What about Sweden?
And when will be beta version released?

[Tsar Ivan Asen II]

Oooo nice nice Teutonic Order This will be a cool faction to play actually, and the Russian brothers ofcourse

[torzsoktamas]

It will be nice!!!Just want to ask that it will be Crusader States or KOJ?

[elz121992]

does this mean the other catholic nations can no longer recruit crusader units?

[Lord Of The Knights]

@ torzsoktamas: No,as you can see,i included all crusader states (Kingdom of jerusalem and antioch region and tripoli and armenia) so we cant name it KOJ.

@ elz121992: i havent decided yet,but nothing prevents them from recruiting crusader units,as all crusader units came from (France,England...) at the first,so they can come again.

[elz121992]

since you included the crusader states in the campaign I was thinking that the catholic nations (england, HRE, france, spain, portugal, etc.) can no longer recruit crusader units.

[Tsar Ivan Asen II]

I really like to see Teutonic Order too bad that their pagan rivals will not be also in the next RM but well it will be still cool For Sure my first attempt to beat RM3 will be with The Teutonic Order

[Nelduin]

Are you sure about the Crusaders start locations ? I believe that they never control the region of Al Karuk...

[Lord Of The Knights]

Al Karuk = Karak = Kerak

it was one of the important crusader cities and castles

Karak City is the capital and largest city of the Karak Governorate. Karak, once a part of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, lies 140 km to the south of Amman on the King's Highway. An ancient Crusader stronghold,Construction of the Crusader castle began in the 1140s, under Paganus, the butler of King Fulk. The Crusaders called it Crac des Moabites or "Kerak in Moab", as it is frequently referred to in history books.

In 1176 Raynald of Chatillon gained possession of Kerak after marrying Stephanie of Milly, the widow of Humphrey III of Toron (and daughter-in-law of Humphrey II). From Kerak, Raynald harassed the trade caravans and even attempted an attack on Mecca itself. In 1183 Saladin besieged the castle in response to Raynald's attacks. The siege took place during the marriage of Humphrey IV of Toron and Isabella of Jerusalem, and Saladin, after some negotiations and with a chivalrous intent, agreed not to target their chamber while his siege machines attacked the rest of the castle. The siege was eventually relieved by King Baldwin IV.

[Javierfv1212]

Looks great, definitely going to spice up the action in the east, especially for the mongols. Can't wait to crack some heathen skulls with my Teutonics.

[rusny]

Wow LOTK nice !!!

P.S the capital of Kievan Rus spells Kiev not Kiyev

Also can you change the color of Teutonic Order?
It looks really similar with Poland (Both countries have a lot of white color)

[Lord Of The Knights]

Thanks rusny,and i fixed Kiev
about the color,colors of teutons are historical,but i may change Poland primary color to Red,and Denmark primary color to yellow (and blue).
