| —In-game description | ||
Knights Hospitaller is an Age-up technology for the Knights Templar in Age of Empires IV: Knights of Cross and Rose that can be researched at the Town Center in the Dark Age as part of the Commanderie system. It advances the player to the Feudal Age and enables the Hospitaller Knight. Additionally, it increases the hit points and movement speed of civilian units by +30% and +10% respectively, and healing of all units from all sources by +30%.
Strategy[]
Aging up with the Knights Hospitaller can provide extra durability to units for extended defensive fighting starting in the Feudal Age, with the healing bonus applying inherently to the Hospitaller Knights and with the extra worker health. The more important bonus is the increased worker movement speed, which can provide a significant economic boost by increasing resource collection rate. Only land units get affected by the bonuses; that is, Fishing Boats are not affected. Furthermore, the healing bonus only affects Monks and Hospitaller Knights, and does not boost any additional source of hit point regeneration, such as siege engine repair, Dock healing on ships, Fishing Boat repair on ships, or Sacred Site regeneration from the Kingdom of Castile.
Changelog[]
