I often see Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign brushed off as not worth it but in the 2 years since it's release the devs have done a ton of work to polish it off and though I do think the battles are really lacklustre and in many ways the game does feel like a remaster rather than a sequel I think there are some decent hours of replayable campaign gameplay here. What do you think? Is KOH2 worth playing in 2024? I'd love to hear your thoughts below! And subscribe to the channel for more videos just like this!

I tried it and wanted to like it, but as you say: It felt much more like a remaster than a sequel. I started with the HRE, and it didn't took long and much conquest, until I won the game with all advantages. Maybe with Crusader Kings I'm nowadays accustomed to more complexity than a 'kind-of-remaster' of an 2004's game has to offer. 😟

My Answer: NO 1. Stupid AI - (Why can't the game randomly select a country (counries) that will become your opponent(-s) and behave like another player?) 2. No battle like total war 3. Cant control AI army in battle vs Player

The game map is better than total war. the building tree is better than total war. politics and diplomacy are better than total war. I ask the developers to add battles like in total war or better. then this game will be the best game.

I have actually been playing this game quite a bit lately, mainly as the Roman's and Levonian Order. And honestly I have had a lot of fun. If you just take it for what it is and dont expect any mind blowing mechanics, you can have a lot of fun with it. Definitely has some issues but what is there is a good bit of fun for dozens of hours

Yea that's cool but there are basically a total of three mods for this game. And they are simply just balance mods. There are no overhaul mods for this game. The modding scene for KoH2 is really lackluster and almost non existent.

And very importantly, it's half price a lot of the times, so at 20+ euros this is incredible value. Just did a new game earlier today with the island of Crete (called Candia by the venezian colonizers in 1300) and it's a lot of fun to start as the underdog and get the opportunity to start grabbing a couple of provinces around you to start growing into a real kingdom. Really love this game.

Since a lot people gave it only a shot, i've played over 500h of this game, multiplayer is so fun especially if you play as enemies(frenemies at best) with your friend. A lot of people and this video have missed that you can, at any time, start a new game using an existing save game as the time period. Blew my mind when i found it. Instantly loaded up a save where i had a crusader state vassal, and started anew but playing as the vassal. It was a tough challenge to start over when the other kingdoms were far ahead but it was fun Last but not least i almost exclusively play on Very Hard to have any resemblance of difficulty. It can get tricky if you overlook something and can end up waging war against 4+ kingdoms so there's that

I like the game but my two biggest qualms which explain my low playing hours are: 1: replayability issues. The world feels less alive when factions feel generic the way they do in the vanilla game 2: lack of mods. This links with the previous issue as mods normally resolve this issue in games. Paradox vanilla games are also far less interesting without mods.

Definitely have a love/hate relationship with this game. The whole battle limit can be very frustrating, and I still have issues on figuring out how to diplomatically create vassels (like EU4 or CK3). But still, every time I play this game, it turns into like 7 hour gaming sessions. Definitely loose track of time a lot while playing😅

i feel like most probably won't do much diplomacy, warfare in general is fun. but the long game is interestigng as well. spy + diplomat + diplomacy is dangerous although slower, you can basically take a full country over time without any actual combat, marry a child to another kingdom, kill the king and you basically can inherit land.

I have spent hundreds of enjoyable hours playing KOH2, and I waited for YEARS for the sequel to KOH to release. I was disappointed with the manual battles, and I haven't played the game for months now. I will check out some of the mods to see if there have been improvements in that arena. Another problem that I encountered was NOT producing sons. It seems pretty hit or miss if the better half can produce a son or just cranks out a bunch of daughters. Pretty important in a dynasty-driven game.

That's strange. This kind of stuff mostly happens in the late game. The easiest way to avoid this is to have at least two diplomats and constantly send them to diplomatic missions to improve realtions with any faction that even slightly dislikes you. In the late game you can level up these diplomats to max level in lightning speed. So just send them to work and no one will ever decalre war on you unless you choose otherwise.

Honestly, its a very insanely epic game, my only sorrow is that there is really minimal variety, I get Christian vs Muslim world, but still I sometimes would love to do Hungary specific stuff, then Italian city states, then some Balkan but all just feels the very same. Also some historical names and maps are sooo terrible, Kolozsvár is called Cluj is a thing, but Pozsony or Pressburg called Nitra, which is an insanely important city in Hungarian history and adding full random areas to it which never belonged to Hungarian kingdom in these ages, really really destroy my historical immersion. The game tho I love, the economy, the design all is great, just if historical stuff, diversity, battles able to handle more than 2 armies, and diplomacy being more sneaky and influence would get fixed.... this would be among my most favorite strategy games ever.

Its global RTS. And the part which belong to the global map are worth indeed. If u wanna good looking battles like in KoH1 and functional ones..its not worth. And imo that was the special of KoH1: A global RTS game with battles similar to TW. But yeah..if you can arrange urself to solve the battles by A.I. so the game is nice to play and catch the feeling of KoH1. At least the battles arnt solved intermediatly so can "watch" them and even reinforce your army.

I love this game, found it incrdibly engaging. But I really think it needs a mod explosion like TW because after 150 hours I dont find a single reason to replay. I know battles arent the the main thing, but they really are awful after a while. I can buy simple, arcade battles, but if you are going that way make them spectacular and fun

Play when it released. While the campaign and it machenic is good. The battle is horribly arcade. Like having a bunch of plastic soldiers smash together. They need to rework the battle if they want any chance to challenge TW or CK. But the real time movement is gold. I much refer this over turn in TW
