| —In-game description | ||
Teutonic Order 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 Castle Age as part of the Commanderie system. It advances the player to the Imperial Age and enables the Teutonic Knight. Additionally, it increases the melee armor of all human units which cost gold by +2.
Strategy[]
Ageing up to the Imperial Age with the Teutonic Order provides a flat +2 melee armor boost to all human units that cost gold. Thus includes the Monk and inherently excludes the 'trash' units such as Spearmen, Archers, and Horsemen. Of the commanderie units that can be obtained along with the Teutonic Order, only the Genitour is excluded. The 'human' specification is not included in the Age-up description, but the bonus nevertheless does not apply to siege engines or ships. This commanderie option can be the most favorable for an infantry-focused lategame.
