#Knights and merchants remake Patch

Fire Show Damage: Attacked and damaged buildings are slowly engulfed by yellow-blue flames.However it intentionally doesn't use most of mechanics introduced by it, sticking more to the original rules.

#Knights and merchants remake Patch

Slightly subverted because it is more like compatibility patch for modern computers and currently requires data files of the updated game.

Defeat Means Friendship: Baron Laufenberg's the first of your enemies to surrender when cornered and actually joins you in battle.

Pikemen do a slightly better job, though again, if the cavalry is in superior numbers, their advantage becomes useless.

Crippling Overspecialization: Lancers tend to be only useful to kill cavalry, and even then they might fail if not supported by archer fire.

Other lesser factions (such as the rebels fighting Walheim in mission 7) are pale yellow.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In the main campaign, your troops are red, Laufenberg's yellow, Walheim is blue, Moorbach is purple, the Barbarian's are brown, Prince Lothar is black while his direct generals tend to be green.

However, unplayable teams may get unique sprites sometimes.

Every playable team is Palette Swap of another playable team.

Boring, but Practical: In casual maps, expect to be able to win using nothing but vanilla infantry (Militia, Axe Fighters and Sword Fighters) and Archers, as the CPU hardly ever produces cavalry, making lancers redundant (and cavalry risky to use as they do produce lancers).

Big Bad: Prince Lothar for the Shattered Kingdom, being King Karolus' rebellious son who led the other nobles to rise against his father's kingdom.

Watch towers were exempt from this, though. If you came near enough to a ranged unit and no other units were in range to shoot at, it would stop shooting.

Arbitrary Minimum Range: The game had this with archers and crossbowmen.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Averted in the usual way - if you have enough food to feed your soldiers, you can have any number of them.

Coupled with archers or crossbowmen, they are unstoppable by cavalry.

Anti-Cavalry: Spearmen and Pikemen are barely on par with Axemen and Militia, but they excell at destroying cavalry, even though opponents such as Knights.

It involved an Evil Prince first messing with the kingdom's people, and then basically attacking his alive father with nobility following him.

All There in the Manual: The original campaign's backstory was this.

As in huge, squared blocks of rock freshly-mined rock.

Abnormal Ammo: Watchtowers are manned by a recruit who cast stones at the enemies.

Knights and Merchants games provide examples of following tropes: Now available on Steam, where it boasts more than 800,000 owners as of November 2015.
