All the Order knights can only be acquired through starting a crusade.

Seeing as you didn't know that I'll also point out that the foot knights can only be gotten by dismounting before battle.

MajorPain,

The Horse Archers is the fastest unit along with Alans, Steppe Cavalry, Saharan Cavalry, Turcomans (I think) and Turcopoles (I think too).

Though they all have the same run speed their charge speed is a little faster, so it is possible to catch the damn Horse Archers.

Jinettes are good, but they are hard to use. They are good at flanking the enemy infantry and throw their javelins into a melee. Then charge them in.

BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.

You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
