Greetings! Today I will covering the stats and availability of the Teutonic roster in Roar of Conquest, overhaul mod of Medieval II. This article should help those who are curious to have a better understanding of how the Order's roster will perform in battle and when certain units will become available in the campaign.
Note: The stats you see here have been updated for Roar of Conquest: The Late Middle Ages VIII. Now onto the details!
The Teutonic Order
If the Teutonic Order roster had to be summed up in one word, it would be "juggernaut". The Order has an excellent selection of heavy infantry and cavalry throughout their roster. The key to victory is to charge your enemies down and grind them into pulp in melee; the Order's options for range warfare are average at best, so don't expect them to win your battles. For reference, the unit sizes I will be listing here are when the game is put on 'ultra unit size', Secondary Melee Attack represents the secondary weapon cavalry units use after completing a charge, and the acronym AP stands for armor-piercing. For conquest and the destruction of the pagan ways, forward onto war!
