the new ruler’s armies. Loyalists can be easily identified as they carry two flags, one<br />
white (for rebels) and one with the old ruler’s banner. They fight independently and<br />
cannot be controlled by the player. They disappear either when nostalgia decreases or<br />
when killed. The nostalgia is gradually decreased when the kingdom is at peace with<br />
all other kingdoms.<br />
Mercenaries<br />
From time to time, you will get a message that Mercenaries are camped near one of<br />
your towns. To find out what units are sitting within the Mercenary camp, you have to<br />
click on it. If there are squads you like, you can hire them for a price much lower than<br />
it would cost to produce them yourself. It is always worthwhile to find out what units<br />
they offer, as it is possible that very advanced and rare units are offering their services.<br />
To hire units, you must bring a Marshal to the camp.<br />
Crusader Armies<br />
When your Cleric has been appointed Pope, you can assign your Marshals to be Crusaders<br />
and lead Crusader armies. You can then tell each Marshal to begin a Crusade<br />
against ex-communicated and non-catholic kingdoms.<br />
Economy<br />
In order to have a better understanding of the economy in Knights of Honor, you have<br />
to grasp the structure of the economic system. No matter which flag you choose, you<br />
will always start the game with one kingdom. Some kingdoms only have one province,<br />
others have many provinces. In order to transform your kingdom into an empire, you<br />
need to know the building blocks of your kingdom.<br />
Kingdom Treasury<br />
Every action you take needs a certain investment on your side. You can accumulate<br />
resources so that when the time is right you can spend them to build an army, call a<br />
crusade or take over a conquered town more quickly. A short summary of your global<br />
treasury can be found in the upper right part of the screen and detailed information<br />
in the Kingdom Wealth screen, which you can open from the bottom interface or by<br />
clicking on one of the three symbols in your Kingdom Treasury.<br />
Gold<br />
Your primary resource is gold. You can earn gold in many ways. Your main sources<br />
of income are taxes, direct income from certain buildings, trade, diplomatic tributes,<br />
religious payments, plundering, and so on.<br />
