    Around 1300 appear the first metal plates that protect the body and protections "pipe" for the arms and legs. This corresponds to the arrival of the first "bacinets" with bulbous visors and trunks ... the event half_plates_armor, if it happens around this date seems correct to me.


    However, being able to recruit mercenary_german_foot_knights fully equipped with armor plates in 1282 is not very logical.

    If I'm right with that event, it should become available between 1342 and 1362 AD. I think there's another event happening in 1336 AD. However, that's a fixed one and I'm honestly prefering a period instead of a simple date.

    Now, regarding the units incoherences, feel free to post any list with the one you have spotted. I'm currently 'fighting' with the animations and archers' bug and such a list would save me a lot of time. Many thanks in advance

    How does the system work vassalage in sship? So if you have 1 vassal faction you received money and army support? Is it going to get better in futures releases? Is it possible to leave regions where it brings you more trouble to keep them in exchange for money as autonomous settlements? for example Flanders, Tolousse, Mekka, Barcelona(catalans), Prague, Dublin, Uppssala, Genova, Tunis, Tarnograv(bulgarians)... cities / states that were independent or semi-independents in the middle ages for quite some time

    THE LESS YOU BLEED IN BATTLE!!!

    Hasn't been touched as far as I know, and won't be anytime soon. From my opinion, Shogun 2 offers quite a good vassalage system. However, I'm not sure it can be adapted/implemented with the Med II engine

    By playing the kingdom faction of Jerusalem, I realize that it is impossible to recruit knights hospitable (on foot or on horseback). Yet I am in 1140 and the temples of St. John do not allow them. How do you recruit them ?

    So you have to modify the export_descr_buildings file ... Thanks for your help Dekhatres !
    I would like to know if this impossibility of recruitment is wanted or not ? Is it an oversight or the absence of hospitallers is voluntary ? Will the unit be recruited later and with what conditions ?

    the requirement is not an oversight, you're supposed to be able to recruit them only if you have good reputation (which most ppl will probably never have)

    i put religion requirement in its place, i mean you can read at the end of the line, you can delete that one too if you dont want any requirement at all

    A small reflection however: if it is the percentage of religion Christianity that determines the possibility of recruiting hospitable, it means that they are much easier to recruit in Christian Europe than in the Holy Land ... However they are supposed to protect the pilgrims and the kingdom of Jerusalem, right ?

    [FLOAT][/FLOAT]What should you do early game in this mod? I’m the Danes right now, did a bit as Portugal as well but the reputation rules are really harsh. Took Visby and that main town in modern Denmark and reputation is already low, should I just try to save money and bribe rebels, or just ignore it and accept that Diplomacy will be terrible?

    to recruit them you need a religion percentage AND a chapter house, of which there's none in Europe iirc

    Tbh, I think that religious orders should be limited and absolutly not as they are currently. To stay simple, they should be restricted to crusades, to Crusaders States and by some extends, to HRE ( Teutonic Order - to reflect the Baltic Crusades) and to the Spanish one (Orders of Santiago, of Montesa and possibly of Alcántara and Calatrava - to reflect the Reconquista). Not sure it can be done but if these orders are used against another catholic faction, then the reputation would become abissimal, increasing a lot the risk of excommunication. If excommunicated, the faction would become unable to recruit them of course.

    I'm not satisfied about the current reputation system even if I understand MWY's logic behind it. Anyway, if you want to try to keep it as reasonnable or higher, you need to release prisoners after battles and ot offer gifts to your neighbouring factions.
    As Danes, soon or later you'll need to get ride of Norway (to secure your position until you're able to access to good units). From there, you can choose to go for the HRE (quite complicated if nobody else is already at war with them), or go for Lithuania and Russia (but poor in ressources and incomes) or go for England/Scotland before to go for the rest of Western Europe.

    We can build this type of building in Europe! In my part with France I built chapter houses in Paris and Basel ... without touching the export_descr_buildings file.

    i said there isnt any, not that you cant build them, but if you wanted them to be limited to holy lands all you gota do is change this line

    Code:
        templars_minor_ch city requires factions { jerusalem, } or factions { england, scotland, france, denmark, norway, pisa, venice, papal_states, sicily, poland, hungary, hre, spain, portugal, aragon,  } and hidden_resource templars_chapter_house and not event_counter templar_independence 1
    to this

    Code:
        templars_minor_ch city requires factions { jerusalem, } or factions { england, scotland, france, denmark, norway, pisa, venice, papal_states, sicily, poland, hungary, hre, spain, portugal, aragon,  } and hidden_resource templars_chapter_house and not event_counter templar_independence 1 and hidden_resource jerusalem
    i added jerusalem resource requirement at the end, now they should be buildable only in holy lands settlements like Antioch Edessa etc
    do it for all chapter houses except maybe teutons, or do it for them too, your choice

    that said though, templars for example did have quite a strong presence in europe, france in particular, so it actually kinda makes sense historically that you can recruit them there, the templars fighting in holy lands also were brought or traveled there from europe so this also makes sense that you'd be able to recruit a larger number of them in france/europe

    perhaps they should be recruitable in small numbers while crusader states is still around, once they kick the bucket however order units should have increased recruitment rates in europe

    OK got it, was just wondering if it is worth keeping reputation and if so how I should go about maintaining it. I’ve made alliances with Poland Byzantines Serbia and Norway but Norway attacked me after I used a spy to get in Stockholm which they were besieging. Getting alliances was not too tough even with an untrustworthy reputation but with a war maybe that will change. Also Norway only became dubious for attacking me.

    Does using spies hurt reputation? I thought I saw my reputation go down as I spied. If so I really don’t like that.

    I don't know for spies but for assassins it does if they don't succeed. I guess that it works in a similar way with spies.

    Your choices seem very relevant to me. Just a clarification: thus playing the Kingdom of France (or another European faction), I can recruit Templars if I conquer the holy lands ?
