Has anyone actually ever done anything with these guys? I know they have a fantasy chain to become Jerusalum but man are they weak.

No, but I did a lot with Cyprus that are much weaker. Go to war often against countries with ships, and kick their butt when they come to your island. If you get enough victories they will offer cash.tyrel68 said:Has anyone actually ever done anything with these guys? I know they have a fantasy chain to become Jerusalum but man are they weak.
Well, I want to do this or try and hold the Timurids together.
After rebuilding the full shattered Byzantiums, I think I can perform a few other miracles.

I did something with Order of St John. That's why I proposed some fixes for this country. No problem to become the Eastern Mediterranean power not to forget Italy, and Southern France with a lot of (allmost all ) colonies in America taken from Spain or Portugal or simply colonized in North America and without going over the BB limit.
The one thing to do is to have allies in Italy and grab as much (rich) Italian provinces as possible with your leaders. Best ally is Papal States... before force-vassalize them when big enough ( ). Avoid land connection with Spain, France and Austria at first if they aren't in your alliance...
With fantasy Events you can then turn on Middle East but I don't see the point in releasing or becoming Kingdom of Jerusalem because your capital will be in Asia... not good). With this foothole, and superior land tech, Alexandria is the next target and convert, convert, convert... (just for the spirit of the Order).

The Knights can be pretty strong, in a right catholic alliance. Do they still have the many cultures? If so, go conquer italy. If you have your posessions spread out and Venice in alliance, there's nothing you should fear - your army is of superb quality. Build up your navy, try to slow down the turks and take Constantinople before they do. You'll be doing well.
French, Italian and Greek later
Taking Constantinople before OE is like cheating! but why not...
Anyway it is too late when Greek culture is added => you shouldn't have the "right" to take Constantinople...

Yes, right, but you don't gain it if you don't relocate (best way, iirc) and Maltese culture could be turned to Italian in near future, so I easily forgot it...

Anyway, you can't play Knights as an ordinary country. This is much about roleplay.
