Knights Templar, Teutonics and Hospitalers

[Eques]

What about these guilds? (i think they are guilds) Does ayone manage to get them? I wonder if they only show up after many successfull crusades. Is that right? With these guilds, can you recruit Templars? What about Teutonics? Hospitalers?

Well after receiving a fortress on Baltic I was asked if I want to build a minor Teutonic Guild.

The teutonics might only be available to the HRE, I did get an offer from the hospitallers for a chapter house which I accepted even though I really wanted the templars.
I had completed one crusade.
Anyone know what determines wether you get an offer for any of the chapter houses?

[Freedom Onanist]

Yep, you can recruit the relevant knights. They seem to be a bit tougher than the normal ones so far anyway.

Looks like you get them for successfully completing a crusade.

I don't think you even need to complete a crusade.

My English crusading army was about two turns away from Antioch when the Venetians took it, and, a bit short of cash as I was thanks to the Black Death (took me by suprise a bit, that. From raking in money I was -30,000 within two turns...), thought I'd do a bit of Egyptian sacking. Anywho, took and kept Gaza and within a couple of tunes I'd been offered one of the orders.

I was able to recruit templars in Inverness in scotland when i took the settlement...
