Just played through the crusade story and lived to my mid 70s which is a record for me on this game. It’s my first time down that path and it is already one of my favourites.

Excellent! I’m glad to hear that.
Not enough people end up going down that route from what I’ve noticed in the discussion.

Because to be honest we just want wealth and glory. And access to the royal family.

I have no clue existed for awhile I thought you just known died or get excuted if loss. But funny thing is your characer live ten years longer and is hell a lot sharper in there mid seventies. Funny things is to you are defacto ruler/king where ever your order set up shop after your boot out of the holy land.

Like Rafael said, everyone wants to be a Richard Neville who doesn’t lose favour or die at the height of his glory, nobody wants to be a successful Jacques de Molay.

I know being the Grand-Master of the Order makes you very powerful and rich, but I really don’t like being exiled and losing contact with your friends and family.
Becoming one of the most powerful man in the realm, having the richiest Earldom, several lands under your control, becoming the Lord high Chancellor and staying with your friends and family (with a nympho wife 
) trumps being a Grand-Master.
And I can’t let my planning for getting everything go to waste, right?

If I’m completely honest, @Goshman, if I didn’t read these forums, I would have never known The Crusades were even an option. It strikes me that you very much have to go out of your way to go down that path.

No one will appreciate actually how badass is. Speaking up for your Priestly descendant it will be very interesting turn of events I find out that their founder of the house that was disgraced is The Grandmaster that transform transformed when the major military orders. Honestly I wish we had more active role in the transformation of the order that’s my only complaint in the game that could have been really fun to manage the holy orders. Also it doesn’t give a clear idea really how they were reformed. I would love to see in this game but I take it we’re going to see the effects if you go down that path and the other one.

It’s only slightly hinted that in the other route. But yes you only get it you’re f***** up and I’m kind of happy it’s a surprise because it’s another layer of the game that you would never see unless you failed. There may be some players that failed the first time. I say let it be a surprise but make it understandably plausible and he did that well and I don’t want him to go and give foreshadowing to it. Hell next game is Borgia the game mix with little Pope Adrian IV.

Does anyone know what the stats required to taunt the knights in the melee to get the barony? I currently have 70 valour, 69 nobility and 62 courtesy and I managed to beat sir Samael.
64 Courtesy and 55 Nobility. If you want to see how to get the others titles you can access the author’s site http://www.teokuusela.com/first-of-his-blood-guide/

hi everyone (if someone is still on thi thread haha) I’m reinstalling the game, and I was wondering if you take the crusade path, I seem to recall at one point you can attempt to charm a lady-knight or something like that… now I remembered having failed because my charm was high enough (at least I think that’s why) and was wondering 1. I want to build up my charm, but I know it will hurt my chance of survival once I’m banished, but it seems you can survive if you marry in the crusader familly is that correct ? and 2. is there a real relation (romantic or not) with that woman if you pass the test ? I don’t want to much spoiler if you could just tell me if she can become an interesting NPC at the very least like your wife (meaning an important character for the MC, but one that is not in the center of the story like Stephen, Arthur or Gabriel in the crusader path) thanks to the brave souls that will have the courage to read this plea for answers, and thanks to the author once again !

This was a good enough work, and I enjoyed (typos, etc. aside)…but this was just another game that went with a gender-locked route for the MC, and really didn’t need it.
It would have been one thing if the universe was set in the ‘real world’ and the author went for authenticity. But just changing names, etc. but keeping other things fairly similar…shrugs
I think he wanted to feel authenticity and doing so you got a re-inject some of the real world, even if it’s more unsavory parts. For example if you could place now I want no I think was her name claim for the throne would elect some of it’s drama. But it would’ve been fun if you had a female perspective for the game would’ve been distinctly different, The damn interesting thing play.

Angelica will not fall for you, it doesn’t matter how much Courtesy you have.
@Lys I will disagree with you, the game clearly wants to just like the real world, where you can think that it might have really happened.
Altering it to allow a female PC would change a lot of things, like there wouldn’t be any need for a civil war and Augustine would be the Queen and the MC being pregnant.

I love this universe, I find it pretty coherent and I’m not bothered by the fact that you can only play as a male PC (well I’m a man so obviously I’m ok with playing a male character ) but I would really enjoy a game by the same author, in the same universe, in which you would be a woman; you could play as the “normal” lady cliché in this type of story, being charming and politically savvy, or go against the trend and be kind of outcast at first, then by prouving your valour and ability you’d earn the respect of some influencial characters, like brienne of tarth <3
