F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Dawn of Kingdoms?
Dawn of Kingdoms is a Modification of the M2TW Grand Campaign, playable with the Kingdoms Expansion. It uses a modified map, additional factions, additional units and other features. A more in depth explanation can be found here.

Are Holy Orders Knights recruitable?
Templar and Hospitaller Knights are no longer recruitable through their respective guilds. They are only recruitable as Mercenaries to Catholic factions on crusade in the Holy Land. Their guilds now offer either a trade bonus (Templars) or a health bonus (Hospitallers). Santiago Knights are recruitable from guilds by the Spanish faction after the Knights Orders event (1175). Teutonic Knights have been disable for the time being. They will appear as an emerging faction in a later release. Their guild buildings offer a law bonus.

Which factions are included in the current release?
The current release of the mod (0.861) includes all of the vanilla factions (except Portugal, which will be made an emerging faction in a later release) plus Ireland, Burgundy, Cilician Armenia and Aragon.

Thanks for the quick release of the new patch. I'll keep playing Burguundy for now and let you know if I have any further glitches. I also had a question about the Crusades Campaign. I noticed that none of the order knight units were available in the main campaign so is that where you're planning to do use them? How will that campaign unfold? And do you have a target date for it yet?

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I am not making a Crusades campaign. The order knights units are used as follows: Templars and Hospitallers are only recruitable in the Holy Land by Catholic factions on Crusade. Knights of Santiago are recruitable as normal. Teutonic Order will be an emerging faction in a later release.

That answers my question. I misunderstood a post from another thread. I like the idea of limiting them to crusading armies. Otherwise the game tends to get a bit lopsided with order knights being preferred, and their guilds being built to the exclusion of others in the game. Is Burgundy included in the Catholic factions able to recruit order knights on crusade?

That was a large part of my reasoning as well.

Is Burgundy included in the Catholic factions able to recruit order knights on crusade?

Yes.
