The Teutonic Knight is a recurring non-playable heavy melee infantry unit exclusive to the The Sultans Ascend campaign in Age of Empires IV: The Sultans Ascend. It appears in several scenarios in the armies of enemy Frankish crusaders and is often accompanied by a Teutonic Grand Master.
Description[]
The Teutonic Knight is a very strong variant of the Man-at-Arms, surpassing every other variant in hit points, armor, and damage, with the exception of the Gilded Man-at-Arms, which has more hit points. Its stats are further boosted by various technologies in different scenarios. With up to 14 pierce and melee armor in its fully-upgraded state, it can only be engaged with large amounts of Crossbowmen or siege engines, or outnumbered with other heavy units such as Lancers.
Campaign appearances[]
- Teutonic Knights first appear as part of the elite Headquarters guard in The Battle of Mansurah, but will abandon their posts if their Grand Master is killed.
- Teutonic Knights form the right flank of the third attacking wave in The Battle of Ayn Jalut.
- Groups of Teutonic Knights guard the inner part of the city of Acre in The Siege of Acre and will attack the player once the walls have been breached.
