Unit Recruitment
Here is where all units of the Latin Empire can be hired and bought to make up professional armies.
However, some units may not be available until conversion rates reach a certain point (this involves Greek units)
Holy Order Units may only be hired when the Emperor accepts a contract/agreement through roleplaying with a Grandmaster or Emissary of one of the three current Orders (Templars, Hospitallers and Teutonics)
Standard Units with the 'Feudal' name are able to be customized in terms of name. Ex: Dismounted Feudal Knights can be changed to Dismounted 'German' Knights or Dismounted 'Frankish' Knights.
All units take THREE DAYS to recruit.
Standard and Greek Units: Light Units are 300 members strong, Medium Units are 200 members strong, and Heavy Units are 100 members strong
Holy Order Units: Light Units are 100 members strong, Medium Units are 75 members strong and Heavy Units are 50 members strong

| Order Militaries |
Note: In order to acquire units from a Monastic Military Order, the Emperor must first accept support from any of the three current Military Orders (Templars, Hospitallers or Teutonics). Once they have this support, chapters may be allowed to be built by clergy characters and be open for hire by the nobility. They will prove to be rather expensive in both purchase and upkeep as well as low in number, but they are very elite troops nonetheless.

| Greek Units |
Note: Greek Units will become available for levies once the population becomes loyal to their new lieges and/or becomes converted. As time goes on, however, some Greek units may become available for hire depending upon conversion rates. Greek units hired will have a tendency of attempting rebellions or deserting armies. Conversion rates help ensure their loyalty as they join Western Christendom.
