It does not make sense for a Knighthood that's heavily influenced by nobility - even a brand new order - to have low (even for peasants) quality armor and weapons even when starting off.
Lastly, this is a Knighthood, so nobles are heavily involved in it. I think that is a realistic time scale given how the game time scale is and taking into consideration the time to get the equipment (if a king wants some equipment, he's going to get that equipment pretty quickly I would imagine). I would heavily consider altering the wait times on equipping new knighthood orders to be less than half of what they are now. I can conquer a faction or two - if not more - by the time just one upgrade is made. The option in the dialog is there, but you are never given any choices.Įdit: Also, the choice to create your own order is awesome, but the wait times are pretty ridiculous.
I've noticed that Tuldar Castle (D'Shar) does not let you create a knighthood order regardless if you have the necessary stats (money, honor, renown, etc.) and training grounds built.
