    An absolute must for RTS players.

    It’s a lot of fun, and I found myself falling victim to the “just one more minute” tendency frighteningly often.

    It may not be as pretty and as rich sounding as Rome: Total War, but if you want one very extensive game with lots and lots of replay value then give Knights of Honor a try. It doesn’t redefine the genre, but I firmly believe that strategy connoisseurs will enjoy it.

    An epic strategy game for conquerors who want more than just the standard RTS. [Aug 2005, p.86]

    By mixing the real-time empire management of games like "Europa Universalis" with a tactical battle system that seems drawn from Impression's city-building games, Knights of Honor tries to offer a wide variety of experiences. Sadly this breadth causes the game to lose some of its focus.

    An insanely deep RTS game that requires a little more brain power to complete than some of its competitors. With that being said, prepare to be yanked in a billion different ways as there are all sorts of problems that need attending to, but then again, who said that ruling all of Europe would be easy?

    Variety of play and replay value is not enough to make us overlook the aspects that are problematic, like the difficulties in locating and defending some of your cities.

    Game offers a good chalange, conquering the whole map is satisfying ^^
    Interesting model of building your cities, you basically decide what buildings you put in, this way you can focus on economy or military aspect of a given city. Kingdom Advantages system is also a great idea, ecourages expansion.    … Expand

    Still play this game. Everything needed in a Medieval geopolitical simulator. Espionage, the AI can and will use the same tricks on you. HadStill play this game. Everything needed in a Medieval geopolitical simulator. Espionage, the AI can and will use the same tricks on you. Had all my generals rebel one time. Some were maxed out. That created a huge problem. It took me a while to clean up that mess. But my conquest of the old world was merely delayed. Found out through using espionage later that's a action you can take on enemy kingdoms if one of your spies is hired as their general but it also depends on the spy's skill level. Setup marriages to get more land when the in laws pass on. There is so much to this game besides conquest! My only problem is the resolution is for older laptops. It doesn't even have 720p built into the game. But, hey, it's fun and that's what games are supposed to be. Fun and replayable.… Expand
