Suggestion: Knightly Orders

[copesh]

Hi,

I think it would be excellent to include the ability for monarchs (Kings and above) to create Knightly Orders such as the Order of the Garter in England.

These would act like societies or warrior lodges did in CK2. It would be a collection of people (mostly within the realm but membership could be conferred onto anyone) that would gain a relations boost and prestige. The Order as a whole would gain prestige as the members do and when they complete quests.

What do you think?

Yes. As soon as I started reading, I remembered the Knighthood Orders from Prophesy of Pendor (an excellent mod for Mount and Blade Warband). I love joining KOs in that mod , so anything that could emulate that in CK3 would be great. I guess that the quests from KOs were more geared towards a single character interacting with them, so I do realise that they should be more flexible in CK3, but the quests that you get from societies in CK2 are a bit too boring. I hope that they put more detail in the society quests in CK3.

With knights also being a war game mechanic in CK3, it would make for an interesting way to tie in these orders (which would essentially be a role-playing, event-driven flavour mechanic) with your realm's military prowess.

I'm a big fan of the chivalric orders: the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Dragon (from which Vlad Dracul derived his name), the Order of the Black Swan, or my person favorite, the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. On the other hand, I don't know that I can see a reasonable place for them in CK3. The focus is to be on the earlier start dates, as I understand it, and the chivalric orders are, for the most part, a development characteristic of the mid 14th-century and onwards. It would be akin to forming the Knights Templar or the Order of Calatrava in the 9th century.
