Spain

I got them in Tolouse after capturing that city by a crusade (guess who called that crusade:-) I did nothing else. Is it possible you didn't get it offered because there were already guilds in your castles (This guild will show up only in castles)? By the way I never got them on the Holy Land onlay in Spain and Southern-France...maybe this is also a matter

Right, think I got it:

1) Spam Crusades and generals joining those crusades
2) High Chivalry Govs. in possible host castles
3) Declare war on Muslim factions, make peace, declare again to raise chances.

perhaps a combo deal of all those simultaneously would help me.

Thanks guys/gals.

2) High Chivalry Govs. in possible host castles

If that would be necessary I would never get any Templars, Hospitalers or my beloved Knights of Santiago. All my generals are sooooooo evil. Record is executing 1812 prisoners...without ransom chance. (sinister laugh)

Knight of S is good, but they are so hard to reinforce. ONLY one castle produces them. Building more green troops to merge with depleted (but seasoned) units, brings down the experience of the seasoned troops. So the only choice, (to keep the experience) is to go all the way back to that one castle to retrain.

It seems that you can get castle-only guilds in cities and vice versa when you convert them. The guild "score" remains even when the settlement has been converted to another type, so if you gain a few more faction-wide points you will go over the threshold and get offered a guild, regardless of settlement restrictions. In this way I received swordsmiths for Palermo and Toulouse, and horse breeders for several castles.
