Proposed changes to KNI cultures:
In 1419_KNI_Order_St_John.inc:
Code:
culture = {
type = french
[COLOR=Red]type = italian[/COLOR]
}
In 1520_KNI_Order_St_John.inc (according to KNI_3536):
Code:
culture = {
type = french
[COLOR=Yellow]type = greek[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red]type = italian[/COLOR]
}
In 1648_KNI_Order of St John.inc:
Code:

}
In revolt.txt:
Code:
KNI = { #The Knights
revolt = no
date = { year = 1523 }
expirydate = { year = 1799 }
minimum = { 819 }
extra = { }
capital = 819
group = latin
culture = [COLOR=Yellow]maltese[/COLOR]
#ai = "crusader.ai"
ai = "SmallCRC0.ai"
}
Remember KNI can't revolt.

#-#When the Order of St. John was expelled from Rhodes in 1523, it underwent a crisis. Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, both by Catholic, and Protestant rulers, their income dwindled, their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferably by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but nobody helped and Venice opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their life defending his shipping lines with Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself, and the defences were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli in the deal as a take it all or leave it all. The Knights opinion on Tripoli was even worse. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defences. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer with the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.

#-#After the capture of Tripoli, Carlos V left the Knights of St. John in charge of the defenses of this North African city. The Grandmaster Juan de Omedes was not particularly happy about this new burden, as it proved to be a drain on the Knights' budget and was very hard to defend. Despite this, Tripoli held its own advantages. Mainly it had richer soils than the rocks of Malta and more fresh water, which would have cut the Knights' dependence on Carlos's governors in Sicily. For a while, the idea of moving to Tripoli was seriously entertained by the Order, but bureaucratic delays and the eventual loss of Tripoli buried the idea before it could become a reality.
