I would like to see PTW owners get a discount too, but what are the chances of that?

I don't think I like the idea of these new wonders... seems to be rather unorganized.

I think its named fine. You establish the Order of the Knight Templar which then establishs Knights. Somewhat realistic and adds a new element the game hadn't had. |
It seems quite a "stretched" concept to me.
Templar Knights had just a religious and political role and it was very limited both in time (a few dozen years) and in area (basically, Palestine, Cyprus and a few other East Mediterranean places, mainly islands).

The fact that Portugal comes from Port du gral doesn't mean it was "built" by Templars.
Actually, Portugal was originally a subject state to the Kingdom of Leon, before expanding at the expenses of the Muslim southern region.
The Templar order (officially named "Ordine dei cavalieri poveri di Cristo" = Order of the poor knights of Christ but better known as Templar Knights as they had their 1st seat in the Al-Aqsa mosque in the former Salomon's Temple plain) was founded in 1119 in Palestine.
They accumulated great wealth in Palestine and developed a fruitful system of loans to the European kingdoms and nobles which eventually earned them envy and hate.
In 1307 the king Philip IV (with the pope Clemente V approval) arrested almost all the Templars and burnt with the accusation of sacrilege and satanism the last Grand Master Jacques de Molay.
In 1312 the Order was officially suppressed and its riches distributed to other orders.
Again, they had no real military relevance (and surely they did not represent any kind of "advance" or "breakthrough" in the military history)
Don't know what you mean with "they built Portugal and half of France". In 13th century France was pieced together by the efforts of Louis IX and Philip le Beau.

hi ,
some facts , most of the wealth was build in france , ....
they build schools , hospitals , fortifications , roads , aquaducts , graneries , libraries , harbors temples , cathedrals and a whole bunch of other things , ....... so if you dont call that building a country , .....
do you really believe louis and his other friends build france , .....
they did not die piecing it together , ...... the knight templar's did , ......
not to mention of the money they gave the guy to pay and run the rest of his country , .....
one just has to take a look at all the fortifications and cathedrals they build all over the south of france , .... any tourist can testify to that , ......
so yeah , its save to say that they did all the hard work while the leader , king louis was getting drunk and running after woman , ......
the french did not want to pay the money back , hence there was nothing anymore left , and a whole bunch of other things madi it so that the french wanted them all death ( a death man cant collect his debts ) , so they went to modern day portugal , .... and they named and builded it , ......
have a nice day
