how do you get/whats the easiest way to get the guilds so u can build the templars,hospitalers and the teutonic knights?

I havent gotten there yet, but i suppose sending LOTS of men on Crusade would help, just like recruiting lots of Spies will get you the Thieves guild

i got the order of St-john after 1 crusade, but no templars yet. Not sure what u have to do to get any guilds, had the explorers guild pretty early in the game. Only reason i can think of is because i sent my diplomats all over the map to get trade rights from other factions. hardly ever use spies, only a few assassins but do have thieves guild

I had the templar guild without doing anything special.

I've got certain castles on Baltic shores and after uppgrading them to fortress I was asked if I wish to build Teutonic guild.So the place and type of fortification some of the conditions.

almost certain to get the templars guild is to go on crusade crab a city ( also when you lose the crusade - grab a other one ) and hold that city / castle now you will prob. the only one in the holy land and you will experience that those guilds apear very soon.

I got all guilds ( incl. headquarters templares ) within 70 turns now.....

I think it may be random. During a Spanish campaign I never got offered a knight order guild, even though I did a few succesful crusades. On the other hand, during a Polish campaign I got offerd the Templar knights pretty early into the game without doing a crusade.

Hmm i crusaded multiple times, blockaded many of their ports, and still no guilds. I have all sorts of other guilds.

Make sure there isn't already a guild in your latest captures fortresses/citadels, else you won't get an application by those Templars or St.John's.

you can have only one guild in a town and some are only available in castles i think

To me, my Templars or St.John's offered to build a guild at around turn 10, after some turn i conquered Tunisi. I think i had to build a church there first.
