    Aww, Kit is showing me one of her nostalgic faves, a game that she played a demo of on Poland's CD Action magazine CDs as a kiddo - 1998's Knights and Merchants! What cute little rendered graphics.

    Knights and Merchants. An RTS game in the style of such games as Age of Empires, or the early WarCraft games. A shout-out with thanks to my awesome friends @sharkabytes.bsky.social & @kitnibbles.bsky.social for recommending this game.

    QTP with a game that made you a gamer in your childhood! Submarine Titans, Knights and Merchants, and Hugo the troll 3D games made me a gamer way before The Sims 2 did but they don't have GIFs sooo 😅

    i was /literally/ going to say this. When I frustratedly quit whatever idiot fucking game makes me rage, my brain snaps over to something productive to burn off the cortisol. Marvel Rivals, Knights and Merchants, Balatro, Hell Let Loose, Slay the Spire, Warhammer 40k: Darktide, etc.

    So the first one is... Knights and Merchants. It was HUUUGE in Poland. It was the first strategy game I played and if you ask me why I like city builders so much - because of K&M. I remember my 6yo self crying, because I won the mission and had to leave my village. I grew up on these streets 😏

    Watching a Let's Play of Knights and Merchants and wow, do I have to appreciate the game for how it worked: 1. The units and formation system was ingenious and, in hindsight, Really Simple 2. The AI is really basic: "Unit go here. If no Unit here, move Another Unit here." Great reinforcement system

    Case in point I recently found out someone made a strategy game that clearly has Settlers 3/4 and Knights and Merchants in mind. and they NAILED that early 00s 2d look. store.steampowered.com/app/1550650/...
