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

A trip down to memory lane

Great game. The economics is wonderfully designed. Army management is a bit challenge though. Game freezes sometimes, haven't yet figured out why.

Great job at optimizing a classic game!

Everything works perfectly, just as I remember back from Windos XP times. No bugs or glitches which normally happen with many old games on modern equipment. The game itself is pure joy!
