Are knights just cavalry with "knight" in their name? Do Broken Lances count as knights, even though they're cavalry?

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
I honestly don't know, someone more knowledgeable than I can answer. I can tell you for a fact that Feudal Knights are what I factory mass produced and got me my chapterhouses. Good luck!

I've participaed in all crusades so far as Spain and I never got Templars or even knights of Santiago.

Major brainfart on my part guys, sorry. I forgot all about Daveybaby's hard work. I think most of your questions can probably be answered here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=75649

Same with me! I guess you have to initiate crusades yourself whenever you can.Originally Posted by Omisan

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
Didn't think this was necessary, but anyhow:
The way to get crusader chapters, is having a chivalrous governor in a province. That's the thing earning you heaps of points. Joining a crusade and things like that only add to those points. Have him as governor for the first 20 turns, and you'll get the guild.
And no, training knights has NOTHING to do with it, except when you have the first level of the guild and train its knights. Piety has absolutely nothing to do with it either.
And as for crusades... The pope calls few crusades. Being a good crusader doesn't mean joining the ones he calls, it means calling a crusade yourself at EVERY available opportunity.
If you've got the guild and you haven't been crusading, then it's because of a chivalrous general. Simple as that. Nothing else.

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
I've noticed that one only gets the Knights of St John very often. In all my gameplay so far I've never gotten an offer from the other Crusader orders.

I found an easier way to get the knight guilds...
Capture them.
Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
To get any guilds, you have to reach 100 "points" for that guild. The way to get points for different guilds is different for each guild. What gives points for chapter houses:
- Any general joining a crusade -25 pts for every province
- Recruiting a unit of crusader(for ex. templars) knights -25 ps for the guild to which the knights belong in that province and 1 point in every other province
-declare war on a muslim faction -10 pts to hospitaler guild in all provinces
-neighboring province >50% muslim -10 pts to hospitaler guild in that province, 1 point in other provinces, EVERY TURN
-neighboring province >50% pagan -10 pts to teutonic guild in that province, 1 point in other provinces, EVERY TURN
-governor has 4 or more chivalry -5 pt for all chapters in that province EVERY TURN, this one is the real killer
Things that will deduct points:
- any general abandoning a crusade -25 pts in all provinces
So, if you are the english for example, then having a governor with 4 chivalry in a province for 10 turns, joining a crusade and declaring war on the egyptians will give you an offer from the hospitalers. Join with another army, and you'll get an offer from the templars.
What makes it likely to get these guilds, is the last trigger, having a high chivalry governor. The other ones are more like one time boosts. Expect the teutonic if you don't convert those pagans and once you gain a muslim neighbor, you'll soon get the hospitalers.
Producing knights(execpt chapter knights) has no effect at all. It was probably due to a chivalrous governor. BTW, whenever it says "knight" in the description, it means any heavy cavalry unit. Broken lances, mamelukes, etc.
PS: spain and portugal can only get santiago, HRE can only get teutonic and all others can get EITHER templars or hospitallers. Once you build one guild, you can't get the other one in your empire.

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
That sucks! I do all of that apart from the recruiting the knights but that because I can't. None of that stuff works!

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
The thing works, it is derived from the game code. Maybe all of your cities have guilds already, they can only have one each and there is a minimum size your city must reach before it gets guild offers

Re: How does one get the Knights guilds?
As Xdeathfire said, my post was taken straight out of export_descr_guilds.txt. See for yourself if you don't believe me...
But remember that you can't have more than one guild in a city, and you're not guaranteed to get the offering when you have enough points, as there may be other places with enough points and you can only get one guild offer per turn.
