Koh has the potential to be one of, or the best medieval strategy game ever. Too bad SF never saw this, they only looked at the graphics and said this is trash, Americans don't want it, whihc was wrong.
If they had taken the time to beta test, commercialise the game and support it, KOH2 would have a release date by now.
Anyways thing that could improve KOH in KOH2(if it ever comes, I won't buy it if SF is the publisher and hasn't change much from what it is now thu) would be,
1- better AI:biggrin:
2- a dynasty tree, kind of like crusader kings.Yes! I would love that! But I'd like to actually see my family tree ala R:TW (just about the only feature I really liked in that game).
3- Knights die of old age too, not just kings, also as they grow old they should get more "experiece" adding some moral or something similar.Great idea! I second the motion!:go:
4- Brothers of the heir actually act like they should. You can use them to rule certain vassal. Sometimes one of these brothers won't be happy that he wasn't the heir and rebel.(Civil wars!)As long as they also have to potential to be devotedly loyal to their King-brother (usually only younger brothers, as was the case with Henry V) then I like this idea. Granted, most would not be deathly loyal to their brother, but there were some who would never betray their big bro for the sake of a crown.
5- Change day and night cycle into seasons and months, no need to add date, just months, so if it is july, then is summer, if is december then is winter and so on, which inturn should affect battles.Yes! Yes! Great idea! Another motion that I second!
6- more diplomatic options.:biggrin:
7- Events!: plague, province fair, mongol invasion, King dies of disease, baby from royal family dies of unknow causes, meteor sighted, monk performs "miracle", ect...Yes! Yes! Another great idea! Add more flavour to the game!
8- multiplayer Europe map, maybe not all of europe but certain parts. Example: 6 player play on the british isles as diferent small kingdoms(York, Mercia, Wales,ect..) and fight each other until one of them unites England by destroying all other players.The best idea yet! I would buy KOH2 almost for sure if it had this feature!:hello:
Hmm I think that's all or most of it, can't think of anything else at the moment.:scratch:
OH, keep the 2D graphics, that's what makes KOH different from all of todays games, is what makes it shine over medieval total wars and other games. thu is 2D, it still has eyecandy while maintaining a beautyfull,playable world that gives the feeling is truly medieval. Maybe make battles 3D for graphic lovers, but keep the world the way it is now, just pulishing it a bit.Yes! That is a must! I am a big fan of 2D graphics! IMHO, they are far more beautiful and make far better "eye candy" than 3D graphics. Especially in the strategy genre. I can understand the importance of 3D graphics for a game like Halo, but for strategy games, they aren't a necessity, only an annoyance IMHO. I was very disappointed to find out that Slitherine was going to make Legion II in 3D, and that Paradox was going to make EUIII in 3D. While that's not enough to make me refuse to buy the games, it will hinder my enjoyment. Sunflowers, please don't take that road. I don't have a problem with you going 3D for Anno 1701. That's a city building game which will be enhanced by its 3D graphics. But KoH is a strategy game. And it was meant for 2D! Please, if you ever decide to make KoH2, please make it 2D!:angel:
EDIT:
sequel with 3d graphic ;)Please, no! If I want a 3D game of this type I'll play M2:TW (which by the way, I'm not even considering thinking about buying). I want Knights of Honor, not "Knights of Honor: Total War (now with new lovely 3D graphics which actually, when you think about it, are rather ugly because 2D graphics can actually show you more detail in some areas and they are more beautifully rendered...)
