The first 5 years as a teenager, I exclusively played them.

You and me too😄

For the first scenario. I think people don't use them cause there are just better units for guarding a castle. Still, I like to keep a few defensive units in my castles that I can exit if the castle faces rams or other melee attack. If not destroy, it will at least deter a player from sticking around with his melee units, cause almost no infantry has enough attack to stand against the Teutonic Knights. For the second scenario, if the defender had mangonels, that attack would have been anihilated. Still, when it came to the rams, I also thought about them, since they are basically your APCs in this age of tech.

Of course it's just a simplistic view of how to use them. During gameplay you should always be more flexible, so there could many different outcomes

1:30 halberdiers are way better for this purpose

Halbs are definitely a choice but only useful if the enemy is pushing with cavalry. I think that Teutonic knights can defend against almost everything. And if the enemy has archers, can't get close because of castle's range.

I feel like Teutonic Knights are best as a counter to counter-units. What do I mean with that? Teutons usually go for knights early, then pikes against opposing pikes or camels. The opponent can then go skirms and/or pikes to counter the Teutons. The counter to such a bonus-dmg heavy comp from the opponent is teutonic knights that just bash through it. The Franks have something similar in their Throwing Axemen that just smash through enemy camels and trash units like they're nothingwhen behind a meat-shield of trash or knights. Both Teutons and Franks function very similarly in general though with some individual nuances of course. And yes, instead of pikes or camels, the opponent can go crossbows. But those are already countered by elite skirms that, despite lacking upgrades, are still the best choice as teching into them only costs like 800 gold and a bunch of wood and food.

You get it, many people argue that Teutonic knights are useless but imo they fail to see the whole picture. Teutonic knights are counter units indeed. And moreover they can't be countered easily. Imagine doing a castle drop and holding your position with teutonic knights. If the enemy brings archers then the castle 's bonus range will protect them. Anything else with melt in close combat. So you are forced to either fight them under the castle or drag them away from it. Same goes with Franks as you mentioned correctly.

I've used it in game and I feel that it's better at defense than offense

It's definitely good for defense. But did you try a castle drop? It works very well for me

Was this made on an old patch? Units garison into multiple nearby rams at the same time now.

You are correct. Although now my newer videos are on the latest version. Thanks for watching!

My expericence is that it's not good to mass the but have a mix on the in your Frontline melee army,

I noticed that too in recent games

Two change been mades ; speed +25 percent cost of gold -25 percent can surprise mainlycav players good vs building and villagers but weak vs castle and archer. For thats reason its one of the few unic unit that cant be massed. That say Teuton have one of the strongest late game of the game because theires bonus and tech tree.

Yeah I agree with giving them maybe a small buff. Like faster training time?.. Extra speed seems to op in my opinion..

I dont know i dont play the game anymore . It"s a memy unit by design and arent even really a slow unit (only 11 percent slower than man at arms). Ofc the real teutonic knight have horse :) . I dont think they are even that weak even in a competitive setting .

I think teutonik knight struggle against range units who can hit and run, and against light cavalery harassement. Both because they are very slow. Anyway good video 👍

That's why I believe you should always you them under a castle, taking advantage of the extra range to hit range units. But it can definitely be difficult to micro. Thanks for the comment!
