DESCRIPTION

Knights and Merchants is based in the Anglo-Saxon period around 1200 AD and puts players in the role of engineer, commander, and mayor. The player must build up what is left of the king's last province and turn it into a bustling center for commerce by constructing the appropriate buildings. After the buildings are erected, gamers can decide where and how the merchandise is transported, and the serfs will start crafting independently, delivering their goods within their own mission area. The player has complete control over the military, however, and must use them to defend the province against enemy attack. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
