Why Do The Knight Exist in The Game?

[Yhekal]

Same for the Pope. I guess coming back to life seems like a sure thing if your faith is strong enough

Yes... they both use clones to prolong their life... This can't be a mere coincidence.

"That's no moon! It's the Papal state in Riga!"

 

[I like wars and maps]

I don't think the Knights should be able to raid Orthodox nations. They would not attack and raid fellow Christians and there churches.

Hunyadi thought the same thing about orthodox christians and yet here we are.

Yes but I have to kill them twice. and they always end up allying Venice.

It's a painful war that you have to fight twice against a meme country that shouldn't exist in game. It's given the ability to raid which it shouldn't have.

Why is it a meme country that shouldn’t be in the game? They existed IRL and acted more or less how they do in game…

I’m also pretty sure the Knights Hospitaller still exist to this day in fact. Though they don’t rule any islands or raid Libya anymore.

"It's annoying that I have to beat this enemy that's difficult to beat even though that's exactly what happened historically"... on general principles, I don't consider enemies being hard and/or annoying to beat to be a flaw in the game. That's why they're enemies, not dominoes stacked up to be knocked down at your leisure. They're supposed to be making things difficult for you.

*Sad Knights noises*

You could just not attack them or only annex them the first time. If playing the ottomans you could even attack Venice and make the knights a cobelligerent.

They are literally a pain ingame. You kill them but they just come back.

Was this some kind of inside joke by the Devs?

I have other question

Why in game we have Ottomans?

There is an event that invites an independent Catholic state that owns Malta to cede it to the Knights, if and only if the Knights have been removed from play and Rhodes has been conquered by Muslims.

If you take and hold Malta, they don't come back again

Isn't there also a mission? As I checked the wiki, the Knights share a mission tree with the other crusader states where if they have 150+ relations with the owner of Malta like Aragon or if the wedding happened, 150+ with its overlord and is your ally, you can get Malta. The event you quoted is linked to the mission as it either releases the Knights as a independent nation if it is kicked out of Anatolia/Greece or gives it to them.

I might try a colonial Knights game for fun, now that you got me talking.

Knights Hospitaller - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani), commonly known as the Knights Hospitaller (/ˈhɒspɪtələr/),was a medieval and early modern Catholic military order. It was headquartered in the Kingdom of Jerusalem until 1291, on the island of Rhodes from 1310 until 1522, in Malta from 1530 until 1798 and at Saint Petersburg from 1799 until 1801.

before talking nonsense, revise your History asap, it seriously needs an update!

Putting aside the historical ignorance, are you implying that playing as the Ottomans is TOO HARD?
