The Crusaders - Unit List

**caius britannicus** · 02-11-2006, 16:10

The Crusaders will be broken up into several factions within the faction. The Core recruitable units (the only recruitable units that any crusader city can build) will come from the Latin Kingdom (aka The Kingdom of Jerusalem). There will also be the Knightly Orders (Templar, Hospitaller, and Teutontic) as well as various countries of Europe that will send armies to aid in your crusades.

Core Recruitable Units:

These units are the units that will be buildable in any crusader held city (once the proper barracks and other prerequisites are met)

i think there could be some more variation in the christian units...or is this list not final?

**caius britannicus** · 02-11-2006, 21:26

This is the final list. The Crusader units (minus some rebels and the officers) are finished.

Why not have a Byzantine faction?

**caius britannicus** · 02-15-2006, 01:17

1) because none of byzanitnes lands are on the map

and

2) because I want to only have two factions plus the rebels.

**dark_shadow89** · 02-15-2006, 03:32

ok, seems fair enough. might wanna add some byzantine-ish mercs though, seeing how the byzantines themselves had a lot of mercenaries? Just a thought.

**caius britannicus** · 02-15-2006, 03:36

you'll notice that there are byzantine rebels. tho they probably wont be recruitable as mercs. There will be byzantine armies on cyprus to harass crusader ships that land there.
