Where does a knight appear?

[Kuno of Gersenau]

I wrote it on German Forum, but I write it also here now, because you know it maybe already?

Where does a knight, f.ex. a marshal appear when you have signed him on?

We know that there is no capital, so the knight appears where the king is? or where you want him? or...:scratch:

Thanks for answers .:cheers:

I don't know that how will the recruitment work. Propably we need an answer from the devs, as usual. :D

[Frank Fay]

you say which town you want to have him and he waits right outside of it :)

[Elewyn]

Will they be the same in all towns or different in each town?

[Kuno of Gersenau]

Thanks Frank!:cheers:

@Elewyn: Do you mean f.ex. moslem knight in arabian city, also if you are christian king?

hmmmmm, i don't think that answer was clear enough ( or i could be stupid - which is also quite possible ! )

If i remember correctly then a knight would appear at the kings court offering his service

But how is it working now? - how do the knights know that/when they are needed ? - or do the the king "advertise" in order to let them know that their services are needed :confused:

Job offer: Loyal Knight needed for a job with good career opportunities !
The king of xxxx seek a knight to take care of the daily operation(s) at the king's newly acquired town of xxxxx. We'll expect the knight to be experienced in handling large crowds of people and to have participated in a few crusades aswell, if you think that you're the right knight for this assignment then do not hesitate to contact the king's court - experience in ruthlesness will only be a plus, but not an absolutly necessity as we have our own extensive training program for our employees.
Wage: the wage which will match your experience and qualifications.

It works like this:

You first decide what PROFESSION you need, then you assign him. E.g. a Merchant to govern or to trade on a trade route. But initially hired he is in the Royal Court and awaits your assignment.

When you hire a Marshal, you say where he shall appear and tatatata there he will be.

And Christian kings have only christian knights, the same with the moslems, right?

And if he first emerges in f.e. he'll be French in nationality?
do the knights have nationality or something like origin?

On old screenshots there are knights like "blablabla, earl of Mercia", is something like this still in game?

ar they are just "graf Frank" and that's all?

[Frank Fay]

Merchant Graf Frank

[Elewyn]

Thanks :)

I know It's awful that I always ask....

but what about natonality or some other "identification" of knights?:rolleyes:

[Frank Fay]

If you are for instance French Kingdom, you get Counts as Knights. If you are English then Earl...etc.

[Elewyn]

Thanks and Sorry again :D

and if England asks for knight for realm in France, will that knight be earl or count?

[Frank Fay]

Earl, because you sent YOUR knight to there. You hire him in England and send him (virtually) abroad.

[Elewyn]

Yea, it has some logic :) I agree :go:

But I have little idea. It's mostly for merchants and landlords IMO. When hiring MY (to keep same example-English) knight for trade with route to Constantinople or Egypt, isn't it better for me to have some "non-English, but orthodox or muslim knight"?

Also with very large and multinational empire it would look little strange to have still Earls (or simply only one title), don't you think?

[Henrik]

@Elewyn i think you'll still get a Earl or something like that - it doesn't appear to be possible to recruit "local" knights as employees !
