Best Game EVER and EVER and EVER
This is the first RTS game i Played in 1999. It took me 1 week to understand (it was in German lol) how to control food (lol). I have played it 1000 times and will play it 1000 times more. I am re-buying it to support developers. I wish of we have some great games like this. All new games are just waste of time and require heavier and heavier GPU to pay out nVidia and AMD (AHH).

One of the best games I ever played!
I start this review with this statement: "Knights and Merchants is not a regular RTS game"! This is extremely important, and it will change the way you will see and play this game. Why this game is not a RTS? Because is far slower than any RTS games I know, and is focused on resource management, base building and economy rather than combat and expansion. This game is more like Settlers or the later Cultures, than a real time game like Red Alert or even Stronghold. The battle is there, together with a complete unit list, from militia men to knights and even catapults in the expansion. You got formations, you got various units that can be mixed depending on the enemy forces making you feel like a real general, but the combat is not what you will do for the most part of the game, far from it. In most missions you start with a hand full of workers, couple of serfs and a storage house. From this you must build everything you need. And I mean everything! Basic resources like stone and wood are the backbone of your small village, then comes the farming sector with grain farms, pig farms, mills, bakeries, butchery, and even whine makers, all are interconnected and need a constant flow of resources between them so they can deliver the most important resource of the game: The Food! Yes, in this game everyone needs food! Serfs need food, builders need food, farmers, lumberjacks, stonemasons, and of course, the soldiers need food! You don't feed them, they starve. You let them starve too much, they DIE! Imagine your mighty knights that cost a huge amount of time and resources to build, starving away because your farms cannot deliver enough grain to the mills that cannot make enough flour for the bakeries., and they DIE of hunger! Everyone can die of hunger. If the builders die, you cannot build until you recruit more, if the serfs die the entire transport routes get slower, and if the army dies you're defenseless! Yes, it is this complex, and yes, I love it!

It Might Not Be Beginer Friendly
Knights and Merchants might not be beginer friendly for geting into real time strategy (RTS) games or I just don't have patience for this game and I don't like RTS games anymore even though I play J2ME version of some other RTS game in the past. At first I thought tutorial would give all the info (which wouldn't be enough) to make player figure out what to do, but turns out, player needs to manualy open tips or whatever they are called to learn about what to do and games gives those one by one, which I figured out after attempting first mission. So I tried tutorial again. Which seemed too long and thought I learned enough, so I didn't finish it. Then there's situation where I thought I don't have resources nor a way to get those resources to get knights in the first mision. In The Shattered Kingdom that is. The Peasants Rebellion - Didn't know where to start. So with this more or less I thinking it isn't beginer friendly to get into RTS games. Or I just don't have patience, well at least it probably plays in part but it isn't only the reasons. I only found out about fast forwarding out of the game, there's no control option or help in the game. Plus even if I would manage to finish even first mission, after some time I probably would get burnout of RTS game, at least when binge play it, or whatever the term is. Well at least who are already into RTS games than they most likely would like it so they can get it. Maybe having open mind about RTS games beginers would like it.

This title shows how gaming has changed
I had fond memories of Knights and Merchants. I had it when it premiered and spent countless hours mastering it, although I remember barely beating half of the game. I remembered how demanding yet satisfying it was back then. So I decided to give it a shot. And the backfire hurt. The game is difficut, this didn't change, but the satisfaction did. You see, a big part of this game difficulty is how unforgiving it is. You often can't just reload the last battle you lost, you need to go way back, to remodel your whole strategy. Now, that itself is not a great sin, some might say it's a virtue, but the problem is that the game is also terribly time consuming and not really dynamic. It takes a grinding forever to set up your base the way you think you need to, only to find out that you are dramatically underprepared for the opponent's assault. The thing is, gaming has changed and I changed with it. Back in the day, this grind-punishment cycle was just part of the experience. You took on a hellish game like this, spent countless hours on it, tinkering with your strategy, tweaking it this way and that, untill you got something working and you moved on to the next mission. Back then it just felt like a challenge. Today, gaming is way easier and dynamic, which makes Knight and Merchants feel like a chore by comparison. And I don't want that in a game today. I have enough chores in my life, thank you very much. That is not to say that the game is bad. It's not. If you like strategy, if you like a challenge, have a lot of time on your hands and you don't mind the slow progress, you might want to give it a shot. Beware however, if you don't know what old games were like, you might be surprised how modern gaming has spoiled you and made it impossible for you to appreciate this game the way it deserves.

One of the Classics
Such a great, detail-focused game. It's like a hyper-focused version of Anno.
