Strategy game: Knights and Merchants (Mac) shipping
Realtime strategic economy simulation Knights and Merchants is now shipping
for the Mac. Knights and Merchants recreates the era of the Middle Ages. The
player takes on the role of an ordinary captain in the king's Palace guard
who finds himself responsible for the defense of the last loyal province.
You, the player, must win back all those provinces which once belonged to
your king. You have to manufacture different products, making use of
numerous buildings and producer goods of the Middle Ages period. One result
of your productive labor is the manufacturing of weapons and armor. But your
success or failure depends mainly on the structure and organization of your
economy. An efficient organization increases production, while a badly
organized structure will cause non-stop delays.

- about 25 different types of buildings , including horse stables, farms and
schools
