Happy Birthday to Veselin Handjiev! The mastermind and also the most faithful fan of Knights of Honor! Here’s for many, many more games in your career!

Thank you for this, Dear Devs! Ah, on the road again... 🙂

Hello there, Dear Devs, Since the update, I have had several times my euro heavy infantry fight euro heavy spearmen. I send them, as the game clearly states that infantry is the counter to spearmen. However in many cases the heavy spearmen took the better of my swords. (Not in all, when I sent slavic axemen they shredded the heavy spearmen) My heavy infantry were in line formation, standart distance, free to break lines. Could you, please, check again if everything with the stats of the units is accurate and precise? I wouldn't mind if the heavy swords cost less, however 750 gold and 500 levies are no joke, after all. Besides, this all just makes no sense - many players say that they prefer the spearmen, even before the update. Perhaps I am missing something? Perhaps there is some hidden mechanic that I am not aware of? If so, I am sure that there are many other players who aren't either, as we all just spam heavy spearmen, some archers and some cav, disregarding infantry in all its states. I hope that I am not the only one seeing this! (?) It just feels a shame that the most diverse unit (light infantry have 3 whole types of cozmetic variations, and I love it!) and the backbone of any army is being tossed around like this. I get that they are supposed to be versatile - could you be so kind as to explain their preferred use? I always love infantry! Maybe I just don't understand them? And as you know, I mainly play most of the battles. Edit: In the game I played these battles, I've already won the games by advancements, so it's not like they lacked goods.

Thank you so much, guys! I absolutely love the tactical battle changes! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 🙂

Hooray for Black Sea Games and THQ Nordic! You're the Best! I'll play Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign, until I grow old and tell stories to my children how I conquered Europe with Cumania 🙂 Can't wait to see you in Thursday, guys!

Dear Black Sea Games, Could you please make it possible to have the opinions of the knights stated, when I am about to make an important diplomatic decision, like declaring a war, or vowing for peace. I could be in the very same format, as if I have just had a diplomatic message. Perhaps if you hold Shift (or some other key), whlie hovering over the proposal, just before you send it (for instance before declaring a war), coule make the little green thumbs up, and the red thumbs down, appear on my council of nobles 🙂 This is just a suggestion I would like! Kind Regards!

We'll be happy to see you, guys! Here's my question - how is the mood around BSG and THQN? We all know that you are very busy, but are you happy, did you achieve your goals, are you looking forward with hope or with fear? It was a great party last time, sorry for leaving early! I'm glad you're still with us in these cool devstreams and diaries! 🙂 Best Regards to All!

Thank you for the thoughtful post, I enjoyed reading it, and I can agree with everything! You remind me of myself, back when I first got addicted to KoH 1 🙂 Enjoy playing the game! I know I will 🙂 Be healthy and safe!

Awesome! Awesome!!! As a player who plays mainly singleplayer, the AI of all my games is very, very dear to me! Like my robot friend 🙂

Hello Dear Devs, I'm just here to wish you all of the health and happiness in the world! Pleasant work to you, Black Sea Games and THQNordic! We are eager to see this game a success! Thank You and Good Luck! Kind Regards! Yavor

Hello there, Dear Devs, Could you, please, show us some of the new tactical battle screenshots? They will be greatly appreciated! Kind Regards!

Happy New Year, BSG and THQN! Wishing you both a grand success this year! Stay safe and healthy!

Hello there, I’ve got no questions for you, today, Dear Devs. I’m just here to with you good luck, good health and very Happy Holidays! Kind Regards!

Not in medieval times, though!

Ivory, I think imprisoned knights take a slot from the royal court of the kingdom, whose knight is in prison, and Not in the kingdom that imprisoned them. You can have 9 knights and 9 or more prisoners, I believe. So in this case I'm ok with the mechanics of the royal dungeon.

That's why I edited that! I guess that's what the photo finish shows...

Hello there, I just wanted to ask at what stage of development are the tactical battles? Will we soon see gameplay from them? Thank you! Congrats to Ivory Knight 😄

Here's another poem by me. It is in Bulgarian, sorry I have no intention of translating it. If there are Bulgarians in the forums, or perhaps the Devs, I would love to hear what you think! Синът на Тангра Минало величие и стара слава За победни битки в древни дни И до днес не пада във забрава А оставя знак сред вековните ни съдбини Тъй роди се той, Ювиги Тъй израсна с бистър ум Сред шума на гръм небесен И го кръсти Тангра – Крум И създаде в този хаос ред Със закони писани за всеки И изкорени пороците навред И останаха словата му навеки И срази се той със Никифор Но ромеите вземаха връх Тъй плячкосана бе Плиска клета Но разплата дебнеше с тих дъх И тогаз надигна се народа с мъст Крум поведе ги напред, на поход Синът на Тангра срещу Христовиѝ Кръст Сразиха се жестоко във Върбишки проход Много кръв проля се този ден Но ромейска беше, а не наша И много врази паднаха във плен А от Никифор остана само една чаша Тъй Родната ни слава под Небето Остава на всеки Българин в сърцето Автор: Явор Харизанов

I'll see what I can do.

Great to hear Robin! Take care, I'm glad you're safe! 🙂

I could try, but I am really not that confident in my English. For work, yes, I can manage, but for creative writing - I prefer Bulgarian. 🙂 I hope I'm not disappointing you!

Hello there dear Devs, I just want to wish you a happy and wonderful summer! Find some time to rest and relax, life’s not all work! In this regard here is my question: Will Black Sea Games go to Black Sea this summer? 🙂 Also, dear Brad, please confirm to us that Robin and Yannick are safe and OK, as we heard very concerning news from Germany recently! That’s all! Thank you very much! I am indeed watching the devstreams later, but my workdays are very busy atm. Please keep the gameplays rolling, they are greatly appreciated! Kind Regards!

Yeah, I guess so... 🙂

Just a little poem I just wrote. Tell me if you like it. Stay Safe, dear Knights! And have a great Summer!

Deus Vult It was a time of turmoil It was a time of strife When each who was loyal To the king with his life They were sent to the war In a dark distant land Where the Grave of Christ lie Where the sun heats the sand For this war was Holy Or so the Pope said “Go to war my crusaders Until the devils lie dead” God wills it they cried God wills their blood By these words they died In Jerusalem’s mud Countless Muslims were dead All of this in Christ’s name Like blind men they forget That we all are the same Thus the crusade was over As if the blood was in vain But the next one was growing And it all began again
