Awesome work, ive only played the M&B version due to a conflict with warband, idk only runs windowed, i do have a request, there are some of us who ...i guess you would say rp their game play. i stick with a certain order, bet you cant guess which, but it restricts me in the type of army i can field. i use templars because i like the look of all that white and red on the battle field, plus without troop names the uniforms are easier to spot. cant we alter the troop trees of the nations you can recruit order knights from? i love my templars, but can only field mounted knights to stick with the order. maybe give an alternate path for spearmen, footmen, and yeomen,to also become dismounted templars, hospitallars etc? footmen to sergent or templar squire, then to dismounted templar knight, spearment to vet searmen or templar spearmen, yeomen to longbowmen or templar archer. we know these orders didnt go to war just as mounted knights, they had massive wealth and military power, whole armys. i just hat seeing 50 templar knights lined up behiend 20 english longbowmen, and engliss spearmen. just me two cents! but great work.
from what i understand you could use the knights models and skins, nerf their stats a bit and change the equiptment to solve this? am i wrong

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for approximately two centuries in the Middle Ages.
Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favoured charity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking, and building many fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.
The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded. Rumors about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created mistrust, and
King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and then burned at the stake. Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends, which have kept the "Templar" name alive into the modern day.
Based on this mix of donations and business dealing, the Templars established financial networks across the whole of Christendom. They acquired large tracts of land, both in Europe and the Middle East; they bought and managed farms and vineyards; they built churches and castles; they were involved in manufacturing, import and export; they had their own fleet of ships; and at one point they even owned the entire island of Cyprus.
The Order of the Knights Templar arguably qualifies as the world's first multinational corporation
