This is in response to the latest Diet post from Overknight.

I will answer this hear, as the reasons for the thing you saw are entirely OOC and thus I can not explain them IC, and in fact they have never happende IC.

Those 120 Teutonic Knights are the escort that left Zagreb in 1168 under the command of Hans and was heading towards the Crusade. Then in 1170 Hans joined the Crusaders and travelled further East. I did this despite knowing that FactionHeir might have liked to let Hans travel north to join Leopold. I was away for two days and thought I would not have the time to develop the storyline I had discussed with FactionHeir.
Then, however FactionHeir contacted me and said that he wanted Hans to join Leopolds army instead of the Crusader army. Since we were still in the same turn, being 1170, I thought it would not hurt to rectify my earlier hastiness by allowing FactionHeir to play out the plotline. So I used the character_reset and let Hans move from the orignal position he had at the beginning of 1170 to Leopolds army.

That's when I made a second mistake. I forgot all about the Teutonic Knights I had sent along with Hans, so I left them with the Crusaders. Once I realized this I hoped that maybe only Hans had travelled north and his escort had joined the Crusaders none the less. Then I read the story from FactionHeir, that details that he had taken the Teutonic Knights with him. To bring everything in line again I took the Teutonic Knights and put them back to Hans, who then joined forces with Leopold outside of Budapest.

So you see, neither those Teutonic Knights nor Hans have ever been in the Crusading Army. Those 120 Teutonic Knights did not set out from Zagreb. I hope that clarifies your points, Overknight, and also any future points if any of you look at the discrepancies between some of the saves.
