Description
After many battles, a former kingdom has been divided into many small principalities and earldoms. The king's 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 siege by the armies of the rebel lords. You belong to the last remaining group of loyalists, and have been commanded to go to the king in light of the imminent attack.

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 torn apart by rivaling lords. 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.
  • Includes the original Knights & Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom and the expansion The Peasants Rebellion
  • Complex “daily life” economy and resource management
  • No population cap - the size of your army depends only on your capacity to feed your soldiers

Knights & Merchants

Very much in the realm of 'The Settlers'. but with [I think] better combat I lost many an hour to it's charm years ago. Graphics probably so so [I'm about to download it so speaking from memory], but as the saying goes - " if you liked the settlers then you'll like this."

One of the best strategy game ever

The game is brilliant, i remember playing it while i was in primary school and i gladly play it now. Innovative feeding your troops mechanics, very realistic too. A strategy game as it should be. This and Settlers 3 is how strategy games should look like. Its not like every casual gamer will be happy to play this game. You have to like strategy games to fully appreciate it. Only one thing bothers me. I was playing it with POLISH dub 20 years ago and now there is no polish language in it ?!

Old but Gold

It took me a while to find it on the internet because I always liked the game so much. Day after day I searched for it on the internet and found finally what I wanted: Knights and Merchants. € 5,99 was a acceptable price for it and I’ve had much fun of with. Unfortunately I have got now a Mac so I hope they will sell soon the Mac version too! Although you can only play it now on Windows it does mean the game degrades in value. It’s still a great, I recommend it to everyone!
