The survival of the Crusader States depends almost entirely on their military capabilities, and as such all vassals, under 60 years of age are expected to serve mounted and fully armed whenever summoned by the Count of Edessa or the Prince of Antioch. These Knights are protected by mail armour and are armed with lances for charging and an axe for when combat is up close and personal.
