They give a new expirience playing with them!

Indeed! I have already asked permission to use in Dominatio Mundi.
They are truly great.

hey i was wondering if you could make it so musketeers are more powerfull in melee
realisticly musketteers made up the bulk of armies in the late 16 to late 18 hundreds

and the beta patch in the first post, is it compatable with sstc cus my game crashes when i try

[Lord_Calidor]

lol cal im wonderin um if this is historical realism then why is it that king richerd never invades jerusalem ??? it would be sweet

Dude, you're playing as a freaking Templars! That Richard guy is just another p*ssy coming down to the Mediterranean on a holiday.

Seriously though, how you think it will work, if you control half of the Levant, and in comes this scripted event that takes away the control of your prize jewel?
Or you meant as a reinforcement? That could be scripted, let's say in the case that Jerusalem is lost, a crusade is triggered with various historical figures spawning in the Holy Lands. But until I get scripting figured out, I can't promise anything.

i meant as a reanforcment
but the templars originally came from england so your the boss there

Um no they didn't.

They were founded in France by French knights and was recognized by the 1129 Council of Troyes .

Sometime prior to the Council of Troyes Hughes de Paynes traveled to England to raise support and recruit knights, he did what we nowadays call a publicity tour. The order received land from the English king (whose name escapes me at the moment, one of the Plantagenets).

But the order sure wasn't English.

you've made me fall in love with the templars once again

Thnx. You make me feel kinda like a pimp.

@ pat2415, AnayaS pretty much answered your question. But reinforcements are still an interesting suggestion though.

Haha. Well your are a pimp
I cant wait to install this mod by it will make it harder for me to realese my own mod unles I made 2 installers (which I dont have the room for).
But as soon as it is combined with battle for the baltic and byzzie rooster I will have to install it and make my mod base with it.
It will afterall be a must have.

[pat2415]

ok im confused thwn why does the knights templar speak english instead of french

[Meethos]

Mad props on the new weapon models and unit skins. I can appreciate your wanting to maintain a degree of historical accuracy, however, I'm on turn ~180ish of the game and had to force myself to do so because of the RR mod, getting a little bored of the same units. I sometimes like to play with RR and have the historical accurate units but sometimes I like to have full plate troops at the beginning of the game. The option to not have RR would be most appreciated in upcoming versions. And if there is a way to not have RR and I have overlooked it any input as to how to do so would be appreciated.

One thing I forgot, why cant I ask a princess to marry my unmarried faction heir?

One thing I forgot, why cant I ask a princess to marry my unmarried faction heir?

The knights_templar faction is set to not have princesses on the strat map. If you don't have them, you can't marry other factions' princesses.

In descr_sm_factions.txt, under knights_templar, change:

can_have_princess no

to:

can_have_princess yes

You'll now be able to get a marriage with a foreign princess.

Of course, from an historical perspective, the Templar family members shouldn't be marrying at all. They should have the same family tree as the Teutonic Order.

To do that in descr_sm_factions.txt, leave can_have_princess set to "no" and change:

has_family_tree yes

to:

has_family_tree teutonic

You'll also need to edit descr_strat.txt to get rid of wives and children.

Probably the easiest way to do it would be to remove the "and event...." lines in the export_descr_building file. It will still take as long for the pools to fill up, but at least you won't have to wait until Dante is born to access the later era units.

[Lord_Calidor]

Exactly, however unit prices, replacement rates, pools will be out of whack. Also, some advanced units would be available even earlier than stock SS 6.1, since they are moved a tier-or-two down the building list (but in RR system, their availability is controlled by events).

Still, I do not recommend it. If someone wanna play with gothic knights in 1125. he's better off playing RPG or arcade games.

Here are the files you requested Lord - for PP compatibility - Thanks again

+rep =]

[Grandmaster Ryu]

My favourite skin of them has got to be the Dismounted Knights of St.Lazarus - the green sets them apart =]

Beautiful! (probably not behind the mask of course )

Probably followed by Soloman's guard. - This is just a great improvement Lord - and I'm really glad you've given me permission to include it with PP 3.0. (when released)

[y2day]

Yes i agree some of the best units and diffently the best weapons>

[Lord_Calidor]
