Templar Armour Upgrade

[Kraxis]

Actually I like the idea that the Teutonic Chapter Houses give a bit conversion. Maybe 1, 2 and 3% (or maybe 0, 1 and 2)? It shouldn't be too much, just enough to make it interesting and effective, while not overpowering.

Then suddenly it would become a priority to build knights and so on in bordercountries so you could get the Teutons to help out.

I suppose the Knights of Santiago could do something as well, but I really don't know what their special strength was. The Hospitallers got their name because they tended the sick, the Templars became bankers and the Teutons converted people by the sword.

The Knights of Santiago were allowed marriage, as opposed to the other stricly monastic orders. So their numbers grew fast, not only because they made little Santiago babies, but also because people were more inclined to join them rather than the other orders for obvious reasons.

I suppose it could translate into a city growth bonus, or maybe a bigger max unit pool size than the other orders.

[Kraxis]

City growth is somewhat of a mixed blessing, so I would go with larger pool. 3-4-5 seems sensible.

the Teutons converted people by the sword.

That would be by the mace in Medieval 2, which should also give them armour piercing and that is quite a nice bonus by itself, isn't it?

[Kraxis]

It is, but not in all cases, and they are more expensive. Not I was talking about the buildings.

After you have two chapter houses you don't really want/need any more. But with the conversion bonus they can become interesting to use.
