Various questions-Any answers?

[Advo-san]

1) How do I get my knights to dismount?
2) Is there a way to find the general with the higher acument without having to check each and every one of them?
3) I have finished the game in expert mode but still haven't managed to create Hospitalliers, my Crusades are always carried out by the Templars and Teutonic.

1. Click right mouse button on their picture before you start the battle and then click (mount/dismount) button
2. Not that I know of
3. Different factions have different 'special' crusade knights. Germans have teutonic, Spanish have knights of Santiago.... Hospiltalier belong to French and English I think?

thanx mate

[cegorach]

Templars are for English, French and Sicilian. Hospitallier knights are for the Italians only. :bow:

[L'Impresario]

Regarding to #3, I wouldn't be so anxious to see hospitallers in action, as they are exactly the same with teutonic and santiago knights - still useful ofcourse since they are almost for free, just no variety 'cept the unit graphic. And they are an Italian faction unit IIRC.

[Advo-san]

Any ideas for the acument question? It would be great to be able to assign the cleverest to Antioch or Tripoly, but I usually give it to the first 4-feathered I see...

[tigger_on_vrb]

Early in the game I dedicate one province to building governers. That means churning out peasants, jogabby, slavs, highland clansmen - whatever I can get cheap. I then assign anyone with 4+ accumen as a governor and disband the rest.

You can also use the "auto assign titles" option, it will use the highest acumen units for governorship

[Advo-san]

I thought auto assign gives the title to the best general, isn't it so?

[Zarax]

In my experience it gives it to the units with most acumen using 3 feathers as minimum threshold IIRC, so it's best used once you got a decent number of units.

I never used it but I might if it does a decent job ('cause I hate flipping thru so many stacks) How does it work? Does it also assign bonus titles (master of the sultan horses, etc)? Does it give command rating titles to worthy commanders? Does it also reassign titles?

[Zarax]

Yeah, it works fine for any title as long as it's got someine worth of it, i don't know about the command rating but i think it takes into account that too...

They have completely different dismounting option - dismount into Hospitallier Foot Knights - somehow in 'vanilla' MTW VI I liked to play with the Italians only to get the units. BUt now I grown up ~;) and I play only in modded MTW :bow:

1) How do I get my knights to dismount?


Keep in mind that Feudal Knights can only dismount in seiges (though they can sometimes be bribed for use elsewhere).

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Unless you mod the game. ~:) Thats not very hard if you want to do it.

[Advo-san]

Should I choose XL mod? Is it the best?

[Zarax]

It depends on what you want from a MOD, XL usually is a good choice though...

[Advo-san]

What do I want from a mod? I don't really know.. I wish it had the crusaders like a separate kingdom, so I gues XL would be fine??

MedMOd 3.14 is very good when it comes to this ~;)

[Advo-san]

MedMOd 3.14 is very good when it comes to this ~;)
Could you show me a link where I can download it?
Is it better than the XL mod? Why should I choose the one instead of the other?

2. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'd check every unit that's built though. You can assign good accumen guys to be governors when you expand.
