I have successfully imported the teutonic order from the teutonic campaign to the crusades campaign. Now is my problem, i know the teutons had settlements in the holy lands but the question is: which are the ones? Acre?

Thanks for help given.

Did a google search on the topic and funny enough I found this TWC thread :laugh: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2001431
, where one poster has this to say about the Teutonic Order in the Holy lands.

Yes they were founded during the later part of the Third Crusade. As Ringeck stated they were German brothers of the Hospital, which lead to a major quarrel with the Hospitallers who claimed overlordship over the new order. If I remember correctly this quarrel lasted for more than half a century. Have no idea of how important their contribution was in the Levant, but I believe the order was smaller and had a lesser impact than the Templars and Hospitallers but as stated here they were based in Acre.

From this website http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/KnTeutonic.html I found

The Teutonic Order was officially called "The German Order of the Hospital of the Virgin Mary in Jerusalem" or "The Knights of the Cross" in Poland. They arrived in Pomerania in 1230. The Teutonic Knights were founded in 1190, in Acre, during the Crusades. The knights of this order were known as Krzyzacy from Krzyz meaning cross. They wore white garments with black crosses as illustrated in An Illustrated History of Poland edited by Anna Sojka (Podsiedlik-Raniowski & Co. Ltd, Poznan, Poland; 1998.)

Teutonic Knights were founded by the burghers of Lübeck and Bremen, with Duke Friedrich of Swabia and King Heinrich, Frederick's brother. Duke Leopold of Austria, Duke Conrad of Mazovia, and Duke Sambor of Pomerellia were also involved.

The Order was set up to defend the pilgrims in the "Holy Lands." This Order became more aggressive when crusaders were invited to Poland in 1226 by Prince Conrad of Mazovia, grandson of Boleslaw Wrymouth (1125-1173). The knights were to defend Mazovia against raids from the pagan "Old Prussians," and they settled in Clemo County.
