I've got the required buildings, I've had a successful crusade, it's now Late period (though they are supposed to be ELH) but I still can't build 'em...

Should I try another crusade for grins? I've only used the one... In Fact, I'm going to try it right now... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

They are special crusaders units that only show up to join crusades. If you have a successful crusade whatever remaining special units are there are yours to command, but you can't actually raise them yourself.

You sure about that? Doesn't make a lotta sense to me...

It's sure thing, I agree though that it's unfortunate we cant build 'em.

Think of it this way... the Knights of Santiago are pretty much always out doing what they do, which is protecting pilgrims. But, the only time you can get your grubby mits on them is when you call a crusade. Then, they join up with you to fight the infidels. All makes sense now... right? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

It's a good reasoning xiahou, but knight of santiago is a basically a chivalric knight (a late age unit) that is available in early age. It's not often that a commitment for pilgrim results in getting a hi-tech equipment is it ?

Hmm. Does the same go for Hospitallers/Gothics?

I'm all confused because the Turks need a Jihad before they get Janissaries, don't they? Then they can build like mad...

I'd have thought you could build them yerself... Hmm...

the same goes for them probably. JHI you can build later

Gothic knights and JHI are not religious units(although you can get JHI pretty early with a jihad)so you can build them much like any unit but they take some time to get(JHI requirments are pretty rediculous)but for Knights Santiago/Templar/Hospitaller/Teutonic you need to make a crusade to get them(they can't be trained).

Gothic knights are not special crusade units, but they are exclusively available to the Germans and Italy.
