Knights Templar?

[PB-DK]

just wondering, as i still dont have CK, is the Knights Templar in the game and if so, how are the 'treated'?

and what is the numbers in the brackets behind the skills?
(e.g. martial 5 (10))

the religious orders are nothing but land stealers in Ck.
you conquer (the baltics, outremer), an order steals provinces from you to form up its state.

The Knoights Templar just took some middle-Easy povinces from me. Just like Mikon Orod said.

A ruler has his own stats, but can also appoint marshalls, stewards, etc, who add to their own stats. So when you see 5(10), your ruler has value 5 and appointed someone with also value 5 for that stat.

You can also build a Templar House in your provinces. It doesn't produce any actual units, but it does increase noble loyalty and gives you a one-time piety bonus upon construction. The manual text hints that it may play other roles such as moneylender and medical facilty, but if that's quantified into the province stats, I haven't seen it.

you actually cant reject the orders 'proposal to make their state on your land

they should make this optional and with penalties or bonuses

The thing is that the way the orders are acting in CK is totally correct. They took over lands in pagan and muslim lands to protect them in a most efficient way and the kingdoms losing land on their behalf gladly shared their lands. Of course after some pressure from the pope and so on but you see the point.

If they exist and you have land nearby you may get templar regiments joining your armies.

I didn't know that. Sounds cool. Btw Johan, love your sig!

I got those in Poland, something like 1000 men (25% knights and 75% H.Inf), but they suck!!! Their morale is 50%, I group them under my King, but in most of the fights they are the first to run (must be the horses!).

You think so? The German orders' conquest of the eastern Baltic certainly wasn't made at the expense of Christian lords, as it invariably is in CK.

I played as the duchy of Antioch(1187) and witnessed hospitaliers/templars showing up, but it didnt really matter cause when i received the event option to "buy 200 of their troops it couldnt help me against the mongols who swept over me and the BYZ and removed me from the game.
