Can you retrain templar

Re: Retraining Crusader Units. October 29, , PM 5. Re: Retraining Crusader Units The question still stands whether you will be able to retrain crusader units or not. Lets say you go on a crusade to take Acre. After a battle or two, Acre is yours, but your Hospitallers have taken casualties. Will you be able to retrain your Hospitaller unit in Acre to replenish their lost numbers or will the retraining only upgrade their armor and weapons?

I didn't like the fact that you could not retrain your crusader units in the original MTW. October 29, , PM 6. Originally Posted by VaeVictis. The question still stands whether you will be able to retrain crusader units or not.

However, I rmember reading a while back that you will be able to construct special guild houses that allow the construction of your faction's crusader units. Templar, Hospitaller This was absent in the original MTW, since all crusader units appeared with the building of the crusade and could not be retrained.

Perhaps after taking Acre, you will be able to construct that particular guild house and retrain your crusader units. I sure hope this is how it works. October 29, , PM 9. Re: Retraining Crusader Units I don't reckon you can retrain crusaders, and I don't think you should. As 'crusader units' may include Teutonic sergeants, hospitallier foot knights and other 'order' troops it may put you at an unfair advantage if you win the crusade and receive the crusaders.

So there. And that meant Tom had to get in kick-ass shape. But he got more out of the process than strength, stamina, and muscle mass.

It was really great to be forced out of my pattern and out of my comfort zone and really test myself. I knew I was testing myself because I was definitely scared; there's a fear that comes with committing to that level of work. It felt great to overcome that fear. It was exciting to accomplish something I wasn't sure I could.

Tom started training three months before Knightfall shooting began. His goal was to look like someone "who had been fighting wars since he was 11 years old. To do that, he basically followed Cory Gregory's Get Swole muscle building plan, a workout regimen Tom describes as "insane.

One to two miles, at a moderate pace. The goal is to warm up and gradually increase heart rate. Sprint for 40 seconds, jog for 20 seconds. Repeat 10 times. This series of intervals is great for cardiovascular fitness , and also serves as a final warmup before hitting the weights.

Tom did supersets. A superset is two exercises performed back-to-back without any rest in-between. You can do two exercises for the same body part -- like working your chest by doing flat bench and then DB flyes -- or different body parts. The key is to do the first exercise and then move immediately to the second. Then you take rest for 90 seconds and repeat until you've done the total number of sets required. For example, the first superset is wide grip pull-ups to failure, then 12 reps of bench presses.

Then you rest for 90 seconds, and go again. Sound hard? It is. Since Tom's supersets involve different body parts, the "muscle" aspect is hard, but not as hard as it might sound; pull-ups use very different muscles than bench presses.

But the cardio aspect is a killer. It's also tough to get the amount of weight you use right the first time. If you're used to benching pounds for 12 reps, trust me: You won't come close if you do pull-ups first. So if you want to try Tom's workout, see the first week as a great week of workouts Jog a 1 to 2 miles, then do 10 minutes of sprint for 40 seconds, jog for 20 seconds.

You'll do that every day. Think you're in decent cardiovascular shape? Do the first superset of squats and leg presses and get back to me.

That's the thing about weight training; you may be strong, but if you don't have decent cardio, your lungs will fail before your muscles do.

Any serious weight training program needs to include at least some cardio work; you want your muscles to fail before your lungs. They a bit cheaper and a bit tougher than regular feudal knights. When playing as Scotland I have always gotten the offer, but never as England. With Sicily it came when the crusade succeeded.

I have not tried France or HRE Good Luck! Well the HRE obviously gets the Teutons, and they get them very easily as Hamburg and Frankfurt seems predisposed to get them. At least I got them in Frankfurt before I did anything almost. Not sure what toggles the decision as to which one to offer you though I think the guilds are limited to certain settlements although I'm not sure which ones are for templars. Having a chivalrous general governing the settlement helps chivalry of more than 4 and crusading helps.

Makes nice armies of Order Knights. The same as Templars in that they might charge out of order, bu they get the armour upgrade as far as I know. I can't remember if the other two orders have maces as the decondary weapon, but the Teutons do, and they have become my personal 'General' hitsquad because of that. They can easily take down generals because of their good stats and AP bonus.
