will rise. Your Prince has to be alive in order to be able to make a claim. Don’t forget<br />
that the same also applies when a foreign Prince is part of your royal family and your<br />
King dies.<br />
Princess<br />
In Knights of Honor, Princesses are valuable diplomatic assets. Whenever you are trying<br />
to pull off a diplomatic deal, you can offer the hand of a Princess to improve the<br />
relationship, which will also greatly improve your chances of persuading the other side<br />
to accept a proposal. Similarly, another ruler may also suggest a Royal Wedding, either<br />
as a requirement or normal proposal. (See also Diplomacy)<br />
When you marry off a Princess, you will get a hefty bonus on all espionage activities in<br />
that kingdom. The bonus increases greatly should the Princess become Queen. (See<br />
also Espionage.)<br />
Just keep in mind that by marrying off a Princess, you also grant the other kingdom a<br />
right to a future claim to your lands.<br />
Warfare<br />
The number one method of expanding and building an empire is by conquest. World<br />
history has records of numerous campaigns, wars and conflicts all with the same ultimate<br />
goal: to conquer more lands and to become more powerful. In Knights of Honor,<br />
this tradition is maintained, as you are provided you with many tools to plan, execute<br />
and maintain your conquests. Take care not to fall in the oldest of all pit-traps: military<br />
power, although very important, is not enough to build a true empire. You will need to<br />
be wise and consider your actions carefully before deciding to send your armies on<br />
a rampage.<br />
Squads<br />
In Knights of Honor, you do not control single units but rather complete groups, which<br />
are called squads. Whenever you hire new troops, you hire complete squads. The<br />
number of units within a squad depends on the type of unit recruited. Only siege<br />
weaponry will be recruited and controlled on a single unit basis.<br />
Army<br />
In order to wage war, you must first build an army. An army consists of a marshal, who<br />
leads up to nine squads of soldiers and up to four siege units. Also, every army has a<br />
separate food supply that depletes over time when the army is not in a city.<br />
