Quite simply one of the most enjoyable strategy games available.
I happened upon the Gamergate website last week and found that they were now selling KoH for a pretty cheap price, as a download only game, and to my amazement, the game had been purchased by a new developer (Black Sea Studios) that had subsequently released a new patch for the game!
I immediately downloaded and have fallen in love with this incredible game all over again. The game dated extremely well, indeed, it still looks brand new. It looks absolutely fantastic on my widescreen monitor, and although the tractical real-time battles are nothing compared with those in Medieval II Total War, the strategy map, which is the core of the game, is as fun and challenging as it was four years ago. The strategy map is similar to that found in Medieval 2, but can be changed via a button to a more Europa Universalis mode as well. The number of diplomatic options, gameplay choices, random events, family dynasty system, warfare model, rebellions, civil wars, unification questions, etc, all combine to make this one of the most replayable, and enjoyable, strategy games to date.
I highly recommend Knights of Honor to any medieval gaming fan or serious strategy gamer.
