The Teutonic Knight is a unique unit of the German civilization from the New Alliances: Introductory Conquest 3 scenario in Civilization III: Conquests. It replaces the Knight and requires Horses and Iron.
- Special traits:
- Higher attack (5 vs. 4).
Description[]
The Chinese Rider is not available in the scenario and is replaced with Teutonic Knights, a special German mounted unit, which can move quickly and will withdraw from combat if they are losing (unless fighting another fast unit).
A German city must have horses and iron in its Strategic Resource box to build a Teutonic Knight. This unit will start a Golden age if victorious in battle.
Civilopedia entry[]
The Teutonic Order or The Order of German Houses began its rise in the late twelfth century, and existed as a dominant order through the thirteenth century. During this same time period two other orders, the Templars and Hospitallers evolved into major orders. The Teutonic order continued to follow the laws and orders of the Roman church and maintained their faith similar to that of monks. This type of structure was also seen in Benedictine and Augustinian rules. As the order evolved, many Knights were seen in military fortifications rather than monasteries, and became very prevalant in the third crusade.
