Crusading orders and states

[ZombieFriedNuts]

I hope they put in crusading orders like the Knights templar and crusader states

Yes, that would be pretty neat. I need to play MTW to see how cool that would really be though...

Having a faction of, say Teutonics, arise and unite border territories might be pretty neat, I am not sure how the Crusader States would work. Would they just have a random chance of emerging after a Crusade? Or would a faction-sponsored Crusade always result in an (initally) allied Crusader kingdom?

Distinguishing between the different sorts of feudal relationship might be tricky - although perhaps a province conquered on a Crusade might get a special non-demolishable "building" that functions a bit like the government "buildings" in EB?

Yes that’s what I was thinking, but I didn’t know how to explain it
