Grandcross event

[svean]

I've noticed that some of units require grandcross_present event. I was always thinking that this is about having that crusading unit of grandcross wagon (mercenary) in a town to recruit those units (so I was hiring those grandcrosses whenever I could) but now I've noticed that some of those units belong to muslim/ortodox fractions. And they can't have a grandcross at all!

So - could anybody explain me what is this requirement is for (or maybe how works this grandcross event)??

If I am not mistaken, these are remnants of an earlier recruitment limitation, namely upper tier cavalry. Those could only be recruited with a general within the settlement who had a "grand cross", a title/ancilliary for battle achievements.

The system didn't work so well and was removed in a later version, but some of the event restrictions are still there (wonder why, maybe references to other code), although they don't do anything.

Thanks for explanation
