Knights & Merchants ** Description |
|
Knights and Merchants is a Mac strategy game that recreates the era of the Middle Ages. Apart from the purely fictitious geography of the game world, all game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon period, around 1200 A.D. K&M does not include imaginary elements like, for example, fabled creatures.
Features:
- over 25 different types of buildings, including horse stables, farms and schools.
- over a dozen different types of characters such as serfs, miners or winemakers
- 10 different types of military units including archers, Knights and pikemen
- realistic landscape display using complex Gouraud Shading techniques
- production processes portrayed in detailed animation (see your horses grow:)
- rendered cutscenes
- onscreen hints and tutorial mode provide easy guidance to get started
- multiplayer Mode for up to 6 players in LAN
- 20 Single player Missions
- 10 multiplayer maps
The player takes on the role of a 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 earldoms. 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, the player, must win back all those provinces which once belonged to your king.
Knights and Merchants is a real-time strategy simulation. Economics play a major role in this real-time action game. The player can manufacture different products, making use of numerous buildings and produce goods of the Middle Ages period. He can use his serfs to construct and maintain buildings and roads. The economical structuring is very specific. You manufacture finished products using various raw materials which go through your production processes. All these manufacturing systems are highly detailed and visually understandable, enabling fast and dependable control of your economy. One result of all your productive labours is the manufacture of weapons and armour.
The logistics, too, are really worth a mention. You decide where and how merchandise will be transported on the network of streets which you yourself have planned and constructed. Your serfs transport all wares between buildings, so your town planning plays a major role in production time per building, and, resulting from that, just how efficient your economy as a whole is going to be. Transported goods are displayed graphically.
Each figure in the game has his/her own mission area and carries out individual tasks independently. They do not depend on your commands or actions. You, the player, only give indirect commands for the construction of buildings, streets, corn fields, etc. However, you do have complete control of the military units.
