About Knights and Merchants

KNIGHTS and MERCHANTS recreates the era of the Middle Ages. Apart from the purely fictitious geography of our world, all game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon period, 1200 A.D. And we haven't used imaginary elements like fabled creatures, either. The player takes on the role of an ordinary captain in the Palace Guard. A conspiracy against the king catapults the captain into a situation where he finds himself responsible for the defence of the last royal province. This is all that remains of the shattered kingdom, which has been split into numerous small principalities and fiefdoms. And now even the king himself, ensconced in his capital, is threatened by enemy armies. This is the starting point of your Middle Ages adventure. Now you must win back all those provinces which once belonged to your king.THE SHATTERED KINGDOM:. After many battles, a former kingdom has been divided into many small principalities and earldoms. The kingís troops were pushed back into one last royal province, and the rulers of the other provinces waged terrible, destructive wars against one another. The whole land fell into a state of chaos and now the former royal capital itself is under

Things that caused that I liked this game:

Things that caused that I liked this game: - Real presentation of the manufacturing and transporting process of goods (farm need land of soil -> soil is watered and seeded -> crops grow -> crops are cut and then transported to the mill -> mill makes flour which is transported to the bakery -> bakery makes bread) - Great building process . Every stone and plank added to any building is carefully built piece by piece, and best part is you can SEE that happens. Buildings DO NOT just pop up from the ground, but they are built categorically. Even today, there is no game in the world that presents that kind of reality in building and micromanagement of goods.

Knights and Merchants!

Knights and Merchants! So many childhood memories I have of this game. I remember playing this years ago and sucking horrible at it because I was too young to be any good in strategy games but now im older and somewhat better at strategy games, spent over a 100 hours in this game because its so addicting and time consuming :) Upon purchasing and playing this game, the game kept crashing and crashing for me when using windows 7. Luckily fans made a HD remake mod for this game and I can play at without any problems, even though the remake version isnt 100% complete yet and it need some tweaking here and there. But thanks to that mod I had so much fun playing this game and the new custom maps that came with it. I defenitely recommend this to play if you like strategy games and have ALOT of time at your hands :)

I bought this game for my father since he used to play back in the days

I bought this game for my father since he used to play back in the days. He worked as a baker before he got unimployed. All he did was play Knights and Merchants. Now he is unimployed and whenever I see him, he is still playing this... I've tried making him play many other games, yet he always comes back to this... On the same day. It has been many months since then, and he still plays it. Nothing but Knights and Merchants. He doesn't seem to know how to save a game. He always restarts and enjoys it alot. I told him to play this on offline mode though, otherwise I can't play my games on steam. However, it is not exaggerated if I say he played atleast 1000 hours. If not more. My father is 55. Only plays Knights and Merchants.
