Interesting historical review! Since there's no chance for KaM2, I would also mention a couple of games inspired by KaM - "Knights Province" and "Lords of Solgrund".
This game is one of the best strategies I have ever played, one I will always remember and love. It's just full of love, polish, style. It literally lets you travel to these old, medieval times, see how these people gather, create, armor up, eat. If this game could have something like socializing, fractions and dyplomacy, human growth etc like Cultures or Alien Nations did, it could be even more immersive. Still, one of the best games I have ever played till this day. For me, it's as epic as Heroes III and I will keep going back to it.
I agree. In my case, besides the evergreen Heroes III (though I had a particular fondness for the atmosphere of the first installment), I was also engrossed in Anno 1602 and Zeus: Master of Olympus.
How I wish someone will remake this whole game as it is and just improve the graphics and some gameplay mechanics. It was just perfect and love the music too!
I grew up playing this game as a kid back in early 2000's. A lot of nostalgia for this game to say the least and I just like the concept of the game where you need first a working economy to support your military and such. A competitive multiplayer touch with a ranked system would be amazing imho.
Amazing Video, thank you very much for covering one of my favorite childhood games. I got this in one of the gold games collections. Man, i was bad at it. But that didnt matter to me as a kid.
Anyone who accidentaly made a beautiful large square in front of a farm instead of a farmfield, please raise your hand :) Really liked the road building aspect, which was important but time consuming and expensive aswell. Played this game ánd a totally different RTS Red Alert 1 a lot at the time with a friend. Really enjoyed the remaster of RA recently and it would be great if a remaster would be made for KaM
I'm Italian and i think that's the game mever been translated in Italian. We had a english version with english text, and that's is the way i played in early 2000'
we have the game that just arrived on gog, the game Knights and Merchants Digital Deluxe Edition and there is Knights and Merchants, Knights and Merchants Digital Deluxe Content for dlc and we have the game with Knights and Merchants Digital Deluxe Edition that arrived today this year
Yes, both prototypes pertain to the sequel of Knights and Merchants. Initially, the team considered creating a 2D game, but due to the rising popularity of 3D games, they changed their concept and wanted to follow the trend.
