It doesn't make sense historically, it doesn't make sense in terms of gameplay.


1. Knights of Calatrava and Santiago should not be triggered by Norse holding Brunswick. Those were almost exclusively a Iberian orders.

2. Number of soldiers should be heavily cut down pre-1096. I mean, they didn't even exist then. I understand that in the alternate history where Saxony did not fall I guess it's possible that Crusade started 200 years early. But Knights each getting 5~10k troop when the king of France can barely muster up 5k is absurd. The appropriate number would be 1k~5k.

3. After 1096 everything's fine. They are still OP as heaven but that makes sense in historical context.


It's mainly the fact that they can muster up 5k~10k even when that number does not make any sense in the situation of 900 Europe.

First of all military orders should not be used as a crutch to make sure Christians have a good fighting chance to win some crusades. They were founded to defend the captured lands, not to lead the attack. They shouldn't exist before the first crusade is won.

The first crusade should probably be an adventurer stack of size dependent on how much rulers agreed to contribute.
