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

Best left in the past

I'm an avid fan of rts sim games and after reading some of the reviews here I figured I'd give this a go since it was on sale. I have to say that this was a waste of the $2 i spent on it. I played the tutorial for about an hour before I realized that the game was going to be slow and painful for the entire experience. I can see how at one point in the past this game would have been fantastic, but it clearly hasn't aged well. Settlers and other similar games are much improved and far more entertaining. Playing this felt like watching grass grow. You queue up some actions and sit and watch as your units slowly enact them. If the game had the option of speeding up time I may have considered it playable, but as it is it's just far too slow. If you're not purchasing this game for nostalgia's sake stay far away from it.
