Knights and Merchants is a great game if you understand it. The biggest problem with this game is the lack of helpful instructions. Once you know how to play the game right, the slow speed isn't a problem. In fact, I don't have enough time to do everything! The original game would only earn 3 stars or so in my opinion, but once you buy the game you can download the remake for the game (google KaM Remake). The Remake allows multiplayer without gameranger or any other client (there are dedicated servers for the game). The Remake also fixes lots of clumsy AI problems and makes the game easier to play and learn. If you are worried about this game being too slow or that the combat is bad-- don't worry. The Remake is free and makes everything so much better.
