Knight orders will still only fight infidels, even under your personal command.
Works for the knight orders too, it's actually easier than the mercs because you can just skip to step 3, but you still have to vassalize, so the method from before is probably more realistic to accomplish. It helps if you're strong, have good relations, and same culture. This is probably one of the more difficult parts to get accomplished. So the only way to obtain them is the following method:ġ) Provoke mercs by not having enough to pay themĢ) Make sure that whatever they take over you're the de jure liege of it (ie king of germany if they take saxony).ģ) Make the count/duke title count as their primary title, this is done by making them go through their succession line, which means either assassinating them (I hope you have a lot of gold/piety), or waiting it out.Ĥ) Once their primary title is the one that you're the de jure liege to, vassalize them. Since the only way to give them land is to provoke an invasion there's no way to plant an heir on a county/barony beforehand.
#343 Ok that method works great for crusaders, now for the merc titles.
