The Conversion

You will be asked to convert at turn 37 if you have under 5 regions and turn 67 definitively ( Can anyone confirm the turn??) . Converting will grant you armored special units, but remove you special units made from the old gods temples. It will remove your old priests and it will convert you cities to 75% cathoclicism

Benefits

-You will receive Chivalric knights , dismounted chivalric knights , and arquebusiers.

-Ability to train Catholic priests.

-Better relations with Catholic nations.

-You do not have to worry about catholic priests anymore.

-Crusading nobles will stop appearing.

-Your castles give you access to more and stronger units.

-You will be following what historically happened.

-Your nobles will not receive as many pagan magicians.(Fear this ancillary!)

-Access to gunpowder units.

Disadvantages

-Losing an easy to build shrines powers , which are often quite powerful

-Losing what may be considered the best shock infantry in the campaign (Giltines chosen)

-Losing priets and soldiers from shrines and the shrines. Meaning you just wasted a lot of money

-You will not be able to cause revolts anymore by converting the enemys population against catholic factions

-Your cities become far less useful

-You lose the chance to change history by making the entire place pagan

-Losing the best cheap horse archer , crossbows , axemen , Meduim-heavy cavalry and light cavalry that you can recruit

-Your units wont have the "scares nearby infantry " ability to cause faster routs

-You will probably be attacked by everyone else anyway .

Units

Unit Summary

Lithuania have access to some good skirmishing troops such as javelinmen and mounted javelins. These are important units to use when fighting against the heavy units of some of the neighbouring factions such as those of the Teutonic Order. The Lithuanians also have skillful archers and mounted archers- another factor in defeating the strong Knights of the Teutonic Order. Although Lithuania have powerful and zealous light infantry and cavalry, most of their units tend to be lacking in defence, so the Lithuanians must rely on good ambushing tactics to be victorious.

Strategy

You must quickly capture some of the nearby rebel villages in order to secure more land from the Mongols and Novgorod before they take them. Meanwhile you should drive some units towards some of the nearby Teutonic order settlements. Use a combination of ambushing and skirmishing tactics in battles and rely on the powerful offensive charges of the Lithuanian units in order to break enemy lines.
