They can infiltrate enemy kingdoms, corrupt and build networks of puppets in their royal courts, and then create chaos. Spies: The usage of cunning spies is more of an offensive function. Diplomats’ function is to make important friends and help bury the hatchet of war with enemies, before all Hell breaks loose. Merchants are the best knights to take care of this need by exploring profitable trade opportunities with other kingdoms.ĭiplomats: Regardless the strength of a kingdom, it needs allies to ensure its safety and to prevail against strong enemy factions. Merchants: Building, development, diplomacy, espionage and war – besides other things, they all require a lot of gold. Marshals can lead bigger armies compared to other classes and usually focus on skills that improve their troop’s capabilities in battle.

Marshals: These are the most efficient army leaders and they are good at solving matters in one way only – by force. Each knight has a class, which defines his strengths and abilities and thus they play a completely different role: The royal court consists of the king, who is now always a member of your court (unlike in the previous game), and up to 8 more knights, which you can recruit during the course of the game. Dynasties and the royal family also play an important role, but we’ll tell you more about the royal family in a future DevDiary. Think more of the famed King Arthur’s Round Table – the king is the central, most important figure, and by his side stand the most capable and trustworthy knights. With this feature we are not trying to make a realistic depiction of medieval rulership. The royal court plays a fundamental role in our game, thus it’s not much of a coincidence our teaser trailer had the concept front and center!

We love both the atmosphere it creates and the “deck-building” element it adds to the gameplay. Hello friends, and welcome to the third entry of the “Knights of Honor II: Sovereign” DevDiaries! In this one we will take a look at one of the most emblematic features for the KoH series – the royal court.
