  Knights and Merchants! So many childhood memories I have of this game. I remember playing this years ago and sucking horrible at it because I was too young to be any good in strategy games but now im older and somewhat better at strategy games, spent over a 100 hours in this game because its so addicting and time consuming :) Upon purchasing and playing this game, the game kept crashing and crashing for me when using windows 7. Luckily fans made a HD remake mod for this game and I can play at without any problems, even though the remake version isnt 100% complete yet and it need some tweaking here and there. But thanks to that mod I had so much fun playing this game and the new custom maps that came with it. I defenitely recommend this to play if you like strategy games and have ALOT of time at your hands :)

  It's going to be difficult to explain why I've played this game for a while. I started it up the first time completely confused as heck wondering why no one was listening to my commands and quickly stopped. Decided to give it another shot and am quite happy I did... as I ended up playing for four hours straight. The AI is interesting to note on this one. Rather than telling peasants (or serfs as their called) or builders (laborers) to do exactly what to do - you are a planner and the serfs and laborers do your bidding automatically. Yes, that means that serfs and what not micro manage themselves. It can be a bit of an issue as I've noticed building 3 or more buildings sometimes can halt production, none the less though once this is addressed there shouldn't be issues. Roads need to be built to interconnect the city as well as allow serfs to travel to the job site to drop off materials for the building to be built. Laborers and serfs work closely together to accomplish the building - serfs mostly look after distribution of resources. There are A LOT - of different resources which get stored at a supply house. Bows, swords, shields, flour, corn are just the beginning of what is stored. There are different types of units military wise but the civilian crowd delivers stability to your village. Bakers can be trained, animal trainers, farmers, carpenters, wood cutters, miners etc... It can get quite crazy and overbearing at times early on in the campaign to see how much can be done with the diversity of the units. Battling is interesting and is as cool as an old style RTS can get. What is neat though which I wish other games would follow is when holding down the right mouse button, you can actually choose 360 degrees which way your troops should face. When you select a band of your troops, you are able to link up units with other units (conjoin groups) and are able to unite a bunch of units under one banner. Be it under one banner or not, you are able to rotate and position in HOW MANY lines the troops are allowed to be in. This really helps keeping a long line of infantry while keeping a band of arrows behind the infantry line. I got this game extremely cheap on sale and figured why not? Somehow for some reason, I like this game. Some of the in game perks as which way the soldier should face I found absolutely brilliant even though simple. I found myself mesmerized watching the AI serfs and laborers do my bidding and build. Is this game for everyone? Not really - you may get sucked into it like I did or you may think this is some stupid old game that should stay buried. I will recommend it as someone who is consistently looking for action in games, found myself happy with the eventual build of my village.

  Nhẹ nhàng, chiến lược và rất dễ gây nghiện. Mặc dù đồ họa đã từ 20 năm trước :D

  The first thing that stands out in this old game is the excellent detailed unit animation, the graphics are quite good too (for an old game like this), ambient life is very nice (like crabs on the beach and foxes scampering through the forest), landscapes are nicely rendered, music is suitably medieval and the sound effects are very good. It's one of those classic games that is difficult to learn, but once you learn how to play it, you will enjoy it immensely. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=494507758 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=494544818 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1413082669

  After 113 hours, i've decided....This game has a certain charm to it. It's an extremely slow paced Realtime strategy. The best feature has to be the multiple resources and the length it takes to produce soldiers and food. Another interesting feature of the game is that you have to consistenly feed your military units. It is difficult to slowly produce a large army to just steam roll because of the feeding mechanic. The overall game has a nice balance of managing resources that is missing in other rts games. All of this said, the game has exploitations due to it being almost 20 years old. On top of that, frequent glitches (even with fan patches) can cause the game to crash and even make a stage unwinable (due to a crash everytime something is destroyed). The game cost so little money it could be worth it, but it's glitches and slow pacing can be draining. But if you've got a buck to spend and some time to kill, go for it.

  I bought this game for my father since he used to play back in the days. He worked as a baker before he got unimployed. All he did was play Knights and Merchants. Now he is unimployed and whenever I see him, he is still playing this... I've tried making him play many other games, yet he always comes back to this... On the same day. It has been many months since then, and he still plays it. Nothing but Knights and Merchants. He doesn't seem to know how to save a game. He always restarts and enjoys it alot. I told him to play this on offline mode though, otherwise I can't play my games on steam. However, it is not exaggerated if I say he played atleast 1000 hours. If not more. My father is 55. Only plays Knights and Merchants.

  This is and was my favourite childhood game. I don't know how many hours, or months, I used to spent playing this game. A very simplistic, yet fascinating and lovely designed strategy game from the year 1998. This is how games should be. 10/10 If you want something that works well with some minor improvements and better graphics you should visit "kamremake dot com" and get the remade version from there. I can recommend to get an even better playing experience.

  Good game from my childhood. I remember dreaming to buy such game when I grow up. I can't believe I've finally made it.

  This game is one big piece of nostalgia. It was one of the first games I bought when i was young. It was the best gaming experience then. Right now this game is rather outdated to the 2017 standards; but still it is fun to play. The game can launch 2 versions 1 - Normal Version: This one doesn't run on Windows 10 2 - HD version: This version works on Windows 10 but is buggy as hell and even the music is different from the original game. How to fix this? Buy the game and download it. Run it once and then go to: http://www.kamremake.com/en/download/ Download the FULL INSTALLER and run it. The installer will automatically detect the Steam install and installs the remake. When this is done you need to add the remake to your game list: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557 Downside of this is your playtime isn't registered. Now you can play the true, real, awesome, including multyplayer Knights and Merchants. Without the KAM Remake the steam game is useless.

  THANK YOU I have searched for this game for the last 15 years and could never find it until now! This was one of my absolute favorites as a kid and now I get all the warm fuzzies. A little city building, a little war, lots of fun.
