Out of the cavalry orders, Griffon is the best. After you have it, you need to fortify it and prepare to go independent (if you aren’t already) - that is where winning field battles keeps you alive, not trying to handle a 2500 troop siege against your puny fief. Archers are most useful getting that first fief. You need to already own a fief to be able to induct new members of your order. Or, to put it another way: heavy cavalry is heavy infantry during a siege, plus there are good options for heavy infantry outside of the KO.Īrchers would be useful, except for the problem of numbers. It is called MOUNT and blade because a bunch of heavy cavalry can F1 F3 most battles. Infantry are inferior to cavalry in the field. The cavalry KO are the most useful to have over a play, with the infantry being the least effective. There are three types of KO: archers, infantry, and cavalry. Until then, you are sacrificing a companion for training, gems to augment companions (probably), lost gems to get CKO unlocks, and by the time your CKO is better than the regular KO you are around day 1,000 and should be the only kingdom standing anyways. This is because a CKO takes a ton of time to get up and running in a useful fashion. Let’s get this out of the way: almost all KOs are better than a custom knighthood order in a normal play. My focus is on the practical aspect of the game, do whatever you want for RP purposes (even though Griffon are the canon KO of the kingdom of Pendor).

I will start with a brief overview why they are the best, then I will address a few common “competitors” (ie loser guilds), and then wrap up with some examples from my current play. The best knighthood order, far and away, is the Order of the Griffon.
