When a player chooses to go on a crusade they are granted powerful Crusader units. He can excommunicate catholic kingdoms and call for crusades against non-catholic kingdoms.
The catholic Pope has much influence in medieval Europe. There are 4 different types of religion: The Catholic Church, The Orthodox Church, Islam, and Paganism. Religion plays an important role in Knights of Honor. Towns themselves also generate hammers (used to construct certain buildings) and food which determines how long they can withstand sieges. Books are used to educate your knights and adopting provinces. Piety is used for increasing your kingdom power and converting provinces to your religion. It is earned by taxes, trading and kingdom power. Money is needed to recruits units, build buildings, etc. There are three kinds of resources which can be spent on a variety of upgrades.
However, the player is free to do whatever they wish. The main goal of the game is to become emperor of Europe. Compared to other strategy games, building structures in KOH takes a rather long time. Thus, not all buildings can be built in a city and the player must carefully consider what to build for a particular city. A city only has limited room for buildings. Other buildings are needed to recruit certain units (such as a swordsmith for sword-wielding units or a fletcher for bow-wielding units) or to defend the city such as walls and towers. The city, however has room for several buildings which can give bonuses to the rural areas or the city itself, such as more piety in the monasteries when a church is built or a higher income from the towns when a market is present in the city. These rural areas can't be altered and are placed randomly across the map before each game. Each province is governed by a city and contains several "Rural Areas" which can be towns, farms, monasteries and coast towns. The map is divided into parcels of land called provinces. Knights of Honor is played on a large map of Europe spanning from Ireland to Caucasus and from Scandinavia to the northern coast of Africa. The player can choose to play as one of over 100 playable kingdoms. The game takes place in Medieval Europe, spanning the early centuries of the second millennium in three historical time periods. It was published by Sunflowers Interactive in Europe in 2004 and Paradox Entertainment in North America in 2005. Knights of Honor is a real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Bulgarian Black Sea Studios.
