About Knights and Merchants

✦ AI summary

Build a thriving medieval settlement with a complete economy, then command your troops in battle to reclaim your shattered kingdom from rebel lords. This real-time strategy game authentically recreates Anglo-Saxon life with over 25 building types and 10+ troop varieties across two sprawling 34-mission campaigns plus multiplayer skirmishes.

KNIGHTS and MERCHANTS recreates the era of the Middle Ages. Apart from the purely fictitious geography of our world, all game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon period, 1200 A.D. And we haven't used imaginary elements like fabled creatures, either. The player takes on the role of an ordinary captain in the Palace Guard. 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 split into numerous small principalities and fiefdoms. 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.

THE SHATTERED KINGDOM:


After many battles, a former kingdom has been divided into many small principalities and earldoms. The kingís 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 loyal kingís men, and have been commanded to go to the king in view of the imminent
attack.

THE PEASANTS REBELLION:


Build a prosperous settlement with a complete economy. Arm your troops and meet the enemy on the battle field! Master these tasks and the King’s subjects will be able to live in peace and freedom again.

GAME FEATURES:

  • Middle ages simulation and Real-time strategy
  • 2 campaigns "The Shattered Kingdom" and "The Peasants Rebellion" with a total of 34 missions
  • Skirmish Mode and 10 Multiplayer-Maps
  • About 25 different types of buildings
  • More than a dozen different types of characters
  • Over 10 different troop types, including archers, scouts, knights, bowman and barbarians
  • Multiplayer battles with up to 6 players in LAN or through the Internet
  • New Musical Score

Unique RTS with interesting mechanics, beautiful graphics and music. Definitely worth trying!
Not recommended Aug 30, 2026
I spent $1.56 on this on October 2014. I decided to put in an hour of gameplay per dollar, making it 90 minutes. At the end of the 90 minutes, I came to the following conclusions: -This game is great for people who want to have a taste of nostalgia (came out in 1998). -This game is great for people who want to experience an old school strategy game, and is willing to deal with a bit of a learning curve. The economy and resource management in this game is pretty detailed. -This game is great if you get it on sale and you want to spend a couple hours trying to play it. If you want to experience an old school strategy game that is easy and under $5, you can't do it at the time of this review being written.
