Leon and Chivalric Knights?

[LuckyPistol]

I noticed in the custom battles, Leon doesn't have Feudal Knights, but Chivalric Knights instead. However in the campaign they only have access to Feudal Knights, AFAIK.

Do they eventually get Chivalric Knights when Plate Armor comes around? What factions actually do​ get them?

I think most Europeans get Chivalric Knights once they have secured a Citadel. They may also need to have an event pop up, like a plate mail event or some such. Seeing as I have yet to advance beyond fortress level (without tweaking some files) I am not entirely sure.

From the SS unit page
"

Feudal Knights are available in Fortresses until the Full Plate event in the late 14th century (1380-1400)"
"Chivalric Knights are recruited in Castles after the Partial Plate Event in the early 14th century (1310-1330)."

So in Custom Battles if you select a time frame (early, mid or late) it adds/removes units depending on the changes of that time
