KNIGHTS OF HONOR 2 KAUFEN FULL
I would forgive the simplified battles if I thought I was going to get Crusader Kings type game with battles.īy that I mean having thousands of characters for me to recruit to court from another country, marry, join assassination attempts, etc.and each of my counts and dukes have full fledged courts of their own.but honestly from what I've seen the entire character count for an entire Kingdom like France in this games seems to be less than 10. I've only seen about 30 minutes of Knights of Honor 2 on Youtube, but honestly it's hard to tell how much better those things are. Total war blows it out of the water regarding battles.Įverything else i think is superior. Battles are not really done seriously, it's more of a funny immersive gimmick, but not really serious. The enemy will prioritize targeting those machines, which often leads to generals experiencing death by spear.Originally posted by Dregora:Campaign map is better, mechanics are better, management is better. This becomes somewhat cheesy when you have siege weapons on the field. Lastly, if all the enemy commanders die, the battle ends automatically. You can’t leave your own undefended for a suicide rush, either: the enemy can capture those to replace their own loses.įor siege battles, the attacking army is on the initiative clock which only stops if you’re actually going forward and grabbing stuff, so no spending half an hour destroying walls with catapults. There are also other ways to finish battles than slaughtering the enemy army: each army starts with one or several capture points (represented by camps), so if you outnumber the enemy or are that good at commanding cavalry, you can go for that as capturing the points ends the battle. Once you break a unit, it’s broken for good and not just retiring for five meters before getting back into the fray. If you want to build it in another province as well, the new instance is going to be more expensive.Ī lot of features in battles are designed to avoid the pitfalls of the latter day Total War. You build a Crop Farming building since it provides bonuses per farm. So, for example, thy new province has three crop farm features. You can build up to eight buildings in a province, and most buildings have three or more upgrades. Speaking of provinces: each of them has a town where you build stuff and settlements, features, and goods that provide special resources and bonuses. Rejoice, oh people, for the king invented brothels

Stockpile too much and face inflation! You better spend that money improving provinces. Similar limitations exist for unit recruitment (with a very Europa Universalis-esque recruitable population pool), collecting books to level up your characters, and even gold. What happens when you get your tenth province? Well, you reap much-reduced benefits from it, that’s what. The number is also important, because each knight can govern a single province. You can’t switch them out on the go the ones you kick out are gone permanently.

But you only get eight of the knights plus your king, so choosing the right mix is very important.
