Factions:

The Teutonic order is a new faction in Medieval 2 Total War:kingoms and is a Medium-difficulty faction to play in the new Teutonic campaign. It has a divided empire that can be reunited quickly, and can blitz Lithuania, however later in the game it will find itself surrounded and having no Allies. In general preperation must be made for this period of time in advance so that you can withstand the might of every other faction attacking you. You have very powerful units, both in terms of backbone and elite. You can field order spearmen and Ritterbrüders and the mangonel. You have no weaknesses basically speaking except that you will have no light infantry. Also you have a disadvantage that you can make only castles, cities are forbidden to you. Your faction leader is picked based on authority, the most authoritive is picked and becomes leader.

The amount of money gained is affected by these factors= 500 Initial cash 500 for any battle won 1000 for any siege won -750 if you lose a battle -1500 if you lose a siege -250 if its a draw 2000 if you exterminate a city 501 extra for the end (can anyone confirm?) . This is only in affect if Lithuania is still pagan!

Strategy

It is vitally important for The Teutonic Order to unify itself and capture the cities between their two areas. It's advisable to use the Crusading Generals to conquer them, especially because they give you much-needed florins at the end of their mission. Try and declare an alliance with Poland and Denmark. After Lithuania, taking Novgorod would be a good move because of their power. Destroying the Mongols will also rid you of a serious threat. However, don't be greedy and overstretch, especially when your elite units can't come without converting the settlements.

Poland generally makes an attempt to form an alliance with you quite early on, however be warned that they will eventually betray you so make sure your cities on the Poland border are sufficiently garrisoned. The same applies if you allied yourself with Novgorod.

You should also be aware of Danish attacks on your northern territories. An invasion of Scandinavia early on could easily strengthen your forces and give you a more defendable area should you be overwhelmed on mainland Europe. Also, an early alliance with Denmark can at least delay their attacks.

You should also try to get the Hanseatic Guild Headquarters, which will increase your trade and increasing your Florins income! This will be vital for the war against Novgorod, Lithuania, Poland and the Mongols.
