Special Features

Crusading Nobles: Crusading nobles arrive from Europe, requesting Teutonic orders assistance and in return give donations to the order. Lithuanian will be rewarded if they succeed to kill one of these crusaders.

Kalmar Union: If Denmark succeeds to take over Scandinavia, the Kalmar union is formed, allowing Denmark to recruit Norwegian units. The Kalmar Union is currently bugged, although several fixed can be found on Total War Center.

Hanseatic League: The Hanseatic league consists of five regions around Baltic sea: Visby, Novgrod, Riga, Hamburg and Danzig. For every one of these regions a faction holds, it will receive five points per turn. Once a faction receives five hundred, it will be given the opportunity to build the Hanseatic League Headquarters.
