whats the reward to winning a crusadE?

[hocha1]

IS THERE ANY SPECIFIC REWARD YOU GET WHEN YOU win a crusade location?>

[Theseus1234]

if i remember correctly, you get an experience bonus to all units involved, the leading generals may get a piety bonus, and a small cash reward, as well as increased relations with the pope

[CK23]

Also a title(usually) and some traits/ancillary's...

[Dead Sun]

if you take jerusalem or Anticoh or Acre you get a hospitaller and a teemplar knight nromally
also take on a second crusade and you might get the grandmaster of the hospitaller or the grandmaster of the Templar (my favourite) Hugh de Payens

[The Noble Lord]

Your resume looks better .

[Pyrebound]

Tons of experience and crusader-retinue, which instantly means tons of piety, +morale and some command.

Yep, that too.

[hocha1]

For the grandmaster, does ask you to become that or it just naturally give you the title. What does piety do for ur general?

No it doesnt ask you to become one, it just give you the retinue of the guy who was Hospitaller/Templar Grandmaster and that will give you the possibility to open a ST JOHN HQ or a Templar HQ

[traxx91]

You can get Hugh de Payens as an general? Thats interesting, I ve just finished a book about him and the founding of the Templar today

his grammar makes my eyes hurt

Well your general or generals, if you decided to plop 7 of 'em in an army then take the target city, become bastions of chivalry as in they will all be very chivalrous.

Also you get a small lump sum of cash from the pope and your relations sky-rocket. Also all of your units receive a chevron of xp, which is good for the ones you can retrain.

The long term effects are that crusading generals with high chivalry make the population grow a fair a bit larger. I had the ability to produce broken lances at around turn 60 or so, give or take 5 turns, because my general was maxed out in chivalry from a crusade.

Piety helps vs. inquisitors and helps convert the population. I think it might also give a moral boast, but not sure about it.

was it Knights fo the black and white???? if it is, IVE READ THAT TOO!!!
anyway, no you dont get him as a general, hes the name of the retinue. so its called "Hugh De Payens" and then it says "Grandmaster of the Knights Templar" blah blah blah.

Yeeee! Knights of the Black and White from Jack Whyte (the name is different in german, but I found the english name on wikipedia . The german title is something like: The Templar - The Treasure of Blood)

Well, the possibility to have Hugh the Payens as a retinue is nice too, I have to get a Templar guild in my next campaign...

Oh that is too cool... + rep for good taste in books

[Silent Assassin]

Your Units gets 2 of experience, you win money, a new settlement, and your general get's chivalry traits

Edit. I 've also forgot that smoetime you will win a artifact trait

[Sorkenlol]

The closer you are to the target the more money you get I think, completing a crusade gives 1800-2200 florins, experience bonus for 20 units and papal improvement (1-2 stars).

And you get crusade points, if you complete a crusade you get crusader points for templar chapter houses in your settlements and traits/retinues, 1 crusade = "Crusader", 2 = "Great Crusader" and 3+ = Grand Crusader, you can also get retinues like "Roger de Moulins" and names of other grandmasters of orders.

[Dead Sun]

thats the other one!! I thought "is i Rouge de Moulin? No wait, that means RED MILL and is a popular film amongst many Ewan Mcgregor lovers."
So its Roger de Moulins and Hugh de Payens, or hwever they spelt it...

You also get a beach head from which to launch more conquests in an area where the pope wont bother you with constant cease and desist demands.

And, trade. The farther away your merchants are from your capital, the more filthy lucre they churn out. It's easier to protect and defend your merchants with a nearby city where spies and assassins can be hired when needful, than trying to keep your money makers alive from all the way over the sea.

[The Noble Lord]

It increases the chance of your Cardinal being the next Pope. It may take few Papal elections, but it does happen.
