Knights of St. John

[Raghnall]

I was reading and in history the Knights were given malta by the church, anyone ever see this random event? don't think so. Also The Knights should have shields on Cyprus and Samaria. This is maybe a repeative subject thought i should bring it up anyway.

I think they only got Malta after the loss of Rhodos.

Agree with you on the shields.

Althoug it is not exactly the topic I want to mention here another point that is widely related. Should not Austria have shields on the north Italian provinces that belong to the Holy Roman Empire? I read that Karl V considered them to be his territory.

Yes, because they should have the right to take them back. No, because conquering bits of Italy should lead to nationalism troubles.

Hey There !

What about a flag for the Knights who say Nee ????

If the Knights disappear from Rhodos, most likely annexed by Turkey, there's a chance they re-emerge on Malta in the IGC.

I bet a lot of rulers claimed all sorts of things, doesn't mean they should get a CB for them

 

[hjarg]

But Knights having a CB on Malta. And these poor bastards want the island sooo much that they DoW Spain for it

It would have been a nice feature though: if someone annexed Rhodos, Knights would re-appear in Malta instantly

Could be featured with major revolts.

 

[BiB]

What revolt ? They just recieved it

 

[Agelastus]

I've seen the Knights reappear on Malta-it can happen, but its' quite rare, since it's treated as a normal revolter rather than a special event.

Yes, but that could be difficult to implement with EU.

 

[BiB]

With this new Event engine ? Nah. Imagine the Knights get annexed which prompts Spain to get the option "Give Malta or not ?"

Well, for Eu2, I know we're not fond of deterministic events, but it could be an "if Rhodes has been conquered, and Malta is Catholic controlled then......" event thingy.

I actually wouldn't speak a word against something like that.

 

[BiB]

LOL

Perhaps a historical event for EU II? The Spanish player have to decide to give or not to give Malta to The Knights when they losses Rhodes. It was that way in the boardgame.

 

[BiB]

You know, what do u lot think about this : When Rhodos gets annexed, there is a pop up option prompting Spain whether they wanna help the Knights or not and thus give them Malta or not.

 

[unmerged(234)]

Ok, BiB and Agelastus I can only say that great minds think the same but you two seems to do it slighly faster than I.

 

[hjarg]

Yes, that sounds a good idea... but what about AI? Should it always give up Malta or make it dependent on Spain's relations with Knights?
