Question about the Templars

[Mechswordsman]

I have no problem with them not starting with it, but why do the Knight's Templars not start with Acre? Historical acurracy? Balance (I have a hard time beleiving that one)? Afriad that the Egyptions will steam roll them?






Also on a slightly related note, I did some reading up on the Teutonic Order, and it turns out that at one point they were based at Arce. Cool, huh?

Great. Try to fix a spelling error and it double posts.

Surely the equation goes like this

Gameplay > realisticness

Also, templars get mighty powerful in the late game, especially when surrounding nations don't get as powerful

The campaign starts before the crusades, you know. So the Templars should not control Acre, nor were the Teutons contoling the port there. So, it's realisticness.
