    Seether are quite bad, but the rest is fine.

    « There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it.

    A politician who portrays himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't?

    And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money - if a gun is held to his head.» - P. J. O'Rourke

    Templars in america??? ok... well if a random ship did find its way to newfoundland it probably didnt carry a whole army and nothing happened til columbus so i dont see a campaign being very satisfying.

    play on kingdoms america if you want to attack america.

    FOr the hundred year war there was a mini campaign available with Lands to Conquer 2.something i think (i used to play it before SS). you might want to take a look at that.

    Aside from the patently and hilariously false claim by that book, it presumably would be possible to start the Templars in America if you edited some of the basic campaign files. It probably wouldn't take much, but unfortunately I don't know the details behind it.

    Templars discovering America. Ha.

    Cheers.

    That's.... special....

    Ignoring how much that hurts my brain, even if they had come to the Americas at some point, they would not have been the first. The Templars were founded in the early 12th century (around 1119, I think), whereas there is considerable evidence that Viking sailor/explorers landed in Canada in the early 11th century (around 1003 AD).

    I just dont see what the templars would be doing out there, they were warrior nights mostly french which spent most of their time in the levant. What they would be doing out in the atlantic?

    Fun idea though

    Your evidence isn't evidence at all. The two main proponents for the "ears of corn" are a physicist (Robert Lomas) and an advertiser (Christopher Knight), whereas professional medieval scholars identify them as wheat stalks or one of several other common European plants (with a level of over-stylization typical to medieval art). The idea that the Templars and Earl Henry I Sinclair of Orkney somehow were involved in a voyage that may have included North America is a fairly modern legend perpetuated mostly by a stretched and groundless identification based on the controversial letters of two Venetian navigators who may have just made the whole thing up.

    Another snippet from Wikipedia:
    Quote Originally Posted by Wikipedia article on Henry I Sinclair
    Knight and Lomas speculate that the Knights Templar discovered under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem a royal archive dating from King Solomon's times that stated that Phoenicians from Tyre, by orders of Solomon, voyaged to a westerly continent following a star called "La Merika". According to Knight and Lomas, the Templars learned that to sail to that continent, they had to follow a star by the same name, which became the origin of the name "America".
    "La Merika" -> "L'America"? Give me a break. America isn't named after any mythical Templar voyage, but after Amerigo Vespucci centuries later.

    In any case, citing the baseless speculation of amateurs is hardly "evidence". There is no solid evidence of the Templars or Henry Sinclair discovering America in the 14th century (or at any other point).

    As far as campaign ideas: If you want Templar-specific ideas, try starting out a campaign, capturing Antioch, Acre, and Jerusalem, and then just sitting on them in the face of all coming foes without expanding. Probably a bit too boring, though it would hopefully develop into an interesting attempt to hold the crusader East despite huge disadvantages of money and manpower. Another idea would be to try to capture all five patriarchates -- Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Rome.

    For a non-templar idea, you could take the Byzantines and reestablish the borders of the Roman Empire at its height (from Hadrian's Wall to Arabia).

    Cheers.

    If it's what you've "learned", I'd recommend a more critical approach to your secondary sources and a closer involvement with the primary sources instead of accepting whatever your "scholars" of choice say just because it was also in National Treasure.

    If you're going to make a claim, it is your responsibility to back up that claim; not our responsibility to prove you wrong.
