    Default KoJ Templar Zweihander and Edessan Guard

    Hey guys, I am playing on Kingdom of Jerusalem VH/VH, and I am having a blast with the faction roster. I've noticed two quirks with it however.

    1) The Templar Zweihander pic in the unit description is a row of halberdiers. Unit pics can be pretty expressive (Ie. Cannons of the Sepulcher) so I was a bit dissapointed.
    2) I could not offer a comparison off the top of my head, but the Edessan Guard's armor upgrade costs seem excessive - over 400 florins for a single unit upgrading to Heavy Mail.

    This is not like the others, but I have also been blessed not to have a Jihad declared at all in my campaign (turn 70~). Taking that little dynamic out of my campaign made it substantially... easier.

    On a side note, a personal complaint of mine is that I have to wait until citadel to get Templar Longbowmen!

    Has anyone tried to address the former two problems in their Campaigns? For one it should not be more than a price change in the building text.

    I am currently also doing a Crusader States campaign, and I noticed this too. There are multiple unit cards wrong, like the Templar Guard, which are English Knights in the picture.

    On the cost I wouldn't know, haven't recruited Edessan Guards yet.

    I am currently around turn 60 and have had 2 jihads called on me so far. (Jerusalem and Baghdad).

    That is a matter of balance AFAIK, the Templar Longbowmen are maybe too elite for fortress level. (the French archers their unit card is btw the same as the Templar LBM)
