    I thought the Hospitaller had the black and white robes. and the Templars are red and white.
    Yeah the Templars wore white robes (symbolizing purity) with red crosses (symbolizing martyrdom, at first their uniforms did not have red crosses, this was granted to them by some pope), but their SHIELDS were partially black and partially white... Not with a cross or anything just the upper half of the shield black and the lower half white, just like their banner, except that had a black cross in the white area.

    "One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"

    Pope Eugene III gave the red cross to them in 1148.

    You'd expect them to wear a long robe over all that mail, since they were in the Levant.

    well i think it could be made to look more intimidating, in that the knight himself looks really small compared to the other units we've seen.

    oh ya i dont really like the blue horse, i dont know how historically correct it would be but i think a white coat on the horse too would look better,

    Anyway it's a nice looking unit, but I'm tired of all these Western European knights. Let's see some Mongols!!!
