Recreating the Order as a faction in the expansion allowed us to create something completely different to the factions available in Medieval II. Their influence on Medieval Europe stretched hundreds of years and played a large part in the conversion of pagans to Christianity. The Order was formed in Palestine during the Eastern Crusades, which was then later recognized by the papacy as a military order. The Teutonic Order was very appealing to us for the focus of a campaign because of their controversial and influential impact on Medieval Europe. The Teutonic Wars campaign recreates the conflict in Northern Europe between Christendom and Paganism, fuelled by the desires of the dreaded Teutonic Order. In this diary I’m going to talk a bit about the different ideas, features and history of the Teutonic Wars campaign, one of four campaigns included in the Kingdoms expansion for Medieval II. I do various jobs here at CA such as artwork, design and also modding support for the community. Hi, my name is Brendan Rogers, AKA ‘Caliban’ to the Total War community.
