Knights Guild...

[_Tristan_]

I know from this forum that for most catholic factions you can only get one or two knights guild types (Santiago, Teutonic, St John or Hospitaller) but that refers to guild offers.

I recently took a rebel-turned former HRE settlement with a Teutonic chapter house in but didn't get to recruit a single Teutonic Order knight.
Is it because I have already both Hospitaller and St John HQs ?

What should I do with that guild ? Save it ? Destroy it ? Or maybe destroy all St John guilds to gain access to Teutonic knights ? :knight:

Surely destroying it will gain me a new (and different) guild offer.

All ideas are welcome...

teutonic is hre exclusive. i think there is topic about knihgts chapels already...

I know about the Guild Guide sticky but it didn't answer my question...

As to the Guild being HRE exclusive, some others are (race tracks, for one) but bring other conquering factions bonuses nevertheless so why does it not ?

[icek]

Hre have only teutons, its the only european faction that have only one knights guild to choose, and only they can using it, it is called a game balance.

I know of game balance, that's not the point...

It was just an example...

What if as HRE I capture a St John or Hospitaller Chapter or a Santiago ?

And that doesn't tell me what to do with it if I can't use it ?

Stick it up to you maybe...

you can or should destroy it for money like you do so with those thieves guilds. did you ever capture english archers guild, did it give you the bonuses for your missile units? if no then its the same case.

As HRE you can only recruit from Teutonic chapter guilds, but if there´s St. Johns built you still get public health bonus.
You can´t recruit any units from buildings you cannot build yourself, but if they give bonuses, you still benefit them. Try conquering Jerusalem from Egyptians in quite late game (let them have it till that) and enjoy Bimaristan.
EDIT: Forgot to ask, If there´s already St. Johns or Templars chapter house in settlement HRE takes, does it count as a guild preventing you from getting any other?

That was partly the point of my question...

It seems logical that any guild would count whether or not it isthe case but i would like a definitive answer on the matter
