Knights Templar

[SnArF|D]

I'm confused on something. I dont know much about history, but are the "Knights Templar" a faction, or just a unit you can recruit? If there just a unit, who can recruit them?

They are a unit, which are recruitable my some western european nations (France, England, maybe Milan

makes sense, though, they should be a modded faction. in the area near prussia, Riga in Latvia and Pomerania.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of the Teutonic Order

AAAA.. the teutonic order would kick ass cause when it comes to a german faction I own cause I have a strong pride of my backround at least they have holy roman empire lol!!

In the game, the Knights Templar are actually a guild. Their chapter houses can be built in settlements once you fulfill the prerequisites. I would guess that the actual units can only be recruited in those certain settlements.

Nice, recruiting nights templar sounds cool. Especially during the crusades.

[Sétanta]

Maybe they are only availible during crusades, or are very, very cheap during crusades. I dunno.

The Knights Templer did eventually end up ruling the island of Cyprus though didnt they ? So they really could be considered a faction at some point in the game.

but he just said, he was talking about the Teutonic Knights, which indeed was a small faction ..up there north

Following the Golden Bull of Rimini, Grand Master Hermann von Salza and Duke Konrad I of Masovia made a joint invasion of Prussia in 1226 to Christianize the Baltic Old Prussians. The knights were then accused of cheating Polish rule and creating an independent monastic state

answering the original question, - if we want to be historically accurate - they should be recruitable like mercenaries IMO. I'm thinking, CA will put them in like an elite unit, while declaring a crusade, they will join you. But i'm just guessing here.

Great victory. You needed duke Vitautas to do that though
By other place, you mean Tannenberg?
