Cities in the Crusader States usually have an order headquarters, and order troops (knights & mounted sergeants) can be recruited if you are in the Crusader States faction. Teutonic, Templars, or Hospitallers, since their leaders are lords of the Crusader States. There are 8 crusading Knightly Orders, but you can only join one of three. 42 to start, and the map is huge.Ĭrusading Orders. A great way to start your own kingdom, since you'll have the Pope's blessing.įactions. If taken, it becomes yours, and the army will usually become the garrison. Give the Pope 100k and he'll gather a crusading army to attack a non-Catholic factions' (of your choice) castle or town (the target location is random). If your faction is Catholic, then you can invite crusader orders to your monastery.Ĭrusades.

Population will grow with the amount of structures, and IIRC, it increases prosperity of the village it's attached to. From housing, brothels, inns, monastery, all the way to armorer, prison, and walls. Once built, you can make improvements by building things in the manor (that show up when walking through the manor). If you are a lord of a village that doesn't have a manor, you can build one for 10k. Some villages start with manors, some don't.

Doing this will add another village to the castle/town that your village was attached to, and your village becomes attached to your castle. Also, the manor can be upgraded to an actual castle (yes, a castle will appear on the map).

Once complete, you can rest there as if you're in a castle/town. In solo, you actually joust, if armed with a lance.īuild your own castle. Quality of troops depends on relation with recruitment location. not your factions, but your personal holdings. This option will only allow you to recruit from your village/castle/town. Awesome recruitment system that instead of generic troops, you get an array (a lance) of infantry, ranged, and mounted troops.
