Knights and Merchants

This game is the best

Most realistic RTS game I've ever played. It has it's flaws, however, such as not being able to build a hidden base due to the need for roads connecting each building. The graphics are good, but could be improved in some areas. It has a very difficult campaign too, with an excellent story line and fool-proof cheats. In other words, you can use the cheats, but it's not suggestable, because either they'll make you lose, or you still just won't be able to beat the entire campaign without doing at least 2 hours of gaming. I still have not actually beaten the campaign. Great cinematics all the way through, help create the mood of the game. The only reason you'll ever stop playing this game is through annoyance at not being able to beat the campaign. Definately worth whatever money you're planning on paying for it. The few major problems I have with it are: Need for roads to ALL buildings; No map editor; pretty poor multiplayer and few other people playing it with no custom games with you versus an AI mean that all you'll ever have to play are the Tutuorial and the Campaign. Good enough for now though...
