How to play Knights of Honor II: Sovereign on Mac (M1 and Intel)

Knights of Honor II: Sovereign on Mac

Knights of Honor II: Sovereign is a medieval-themed real-time grand strategy game where players have to build an empire from scratch. The game is a sequel to 2004’s Knights of Honor and goes deep into religion, diplomacy, territory expansion, trading, and urban planning.

gameplay

The gameplay is similar to that of the first game and involves managing provinces, gathering armies, leading massive battles, initiating diplomacy, and engaging in espionage, with the ultimate goal of becoming the most powerful ruler.

At the start of the game, players have to select their kingdom from a list of over 200 options, which is two times more than the kingdoms that were available in the first installation. The game map includes the territories of Europe, plus North Africa, and parts of Asia.

classes

In Knights of Honor II: Sovereign, the Royal Court is one of the most important tools at the players’ disposal. It consists of five classes—Marshals, Merchants, Diplomats, Clerics, and Spies—who are used to exert the king’s will across the land and apply his policies. Marshals are the most skilled commanders of armies, while Merchants are those who fill the coffers with gold. Diplomats turn enemies into friends and prepare important pacts, Clerics are responsible for stability, piety, and education in kingdoms, and Spies distort and thwart enemy plans.

Combat

Combat happens in real-time with up to four armies on a battlefield. Players can choose from more than a hundred different military units, such as English longbowmen and fierce Nordic warriors, and build huge armies to defend their borders and attack new lands.

Economy

Just like in the predecessor, at the heart of the game are the economy and trade, as well as the development of various cities and provinces. Players have to build structures, produce goods, and develop active trading relationships to guarantee that their territory can sustain a strong army.

multiplayer

The multiplayer option supports up to six players. They can group together for some cooperative global conquest, or pit against each other in teams or free-for-all competitions. If you and your pals are looking for a change of pace, you may choose from a variety of ways to win by selecting victory conditions such as “Peasant Rush”, “War for Goods”, “First Blood” and more. Plus, if you’re short on time, you may choose to set a limit to the game’s duration.
