Knighthood addict

No, I didn't disappear from cyberspace. I got addicted. Addicted to a game. A game called Knighthood. Knighthood on FACEBOOK!!! Aaarrrghhh!!! You're right. Facebook, in itself is mighty addictive! Pfft! I've been spending hours and hours playing Knighthood for the past few weeks!



It's a game that lets you build your capital, recruit vassals who are your friends to "work" for you and go to war.



You gain a rank on the game and you gain power. The more vassals you have, the more powerful you become and the higher the rank you climb. You can also earn or steal gold coins. I love stealing!



You start off as a Handmaiden, then a Lady, then a Baroness, then a Viscountess, then a Countess, then a Duchess, then a Marquises, then a....[nobody actually got to a rank higher than a Marquis just yet]. Of course there's a male version too. You start off a Squire, then a Knight, then a Viscount, then a Count, then a Duke, then a Marquis...



I have spent many days and nights building my capital consisting of a marketplace (to do business and earn gold coins), a watchtower, wall and palisade (defenses), barracks (to go to war), hospital (to heal my vassals) and workshop (for workers to build).



Once your defenses are secure, you can then go to war. One can raid for gold coins (in another word, steal), seize a vassal to increase your power (in another word, kidnap) or conquer another (in another word, kill).



One can also join their powers and swear fealty to each other (in other words, collaborate and kill more!).



And I wake up every morning stressing over attacks! Thank goodness for strong wall, palisade and watchtower (in another word, defenses).


The higher the power increases, the more complicated the game gets. Isn't that always the case (in anything we do)? Sigh. Thanks to Wiki-knighthood-help for tips and strategies.

My knight is just about to begin. Come swear fealty to me and go to war!

This is interesting! My love for knighthood began when I started reading historical romances from the likes of Judith McNaught and Johanna Lindsey.

I hope to have ample time to try this. Thanks for sharing! =p

Be very careful. I'm sure that warning comes too late. Knighthood 'seized' me more than a year ago. Very few FB games have survived more than a few days on my list, maybe 6. I still play KH almost every day, and often for hours at a time. It's quite possibly the most captivating computer game I have ever played. I also play it on Bebo. I would be honoured if your character would post a little hello on my KH wall. Perhaps I can trick you into creating a Bebo account (just for KH) and you would swear loyalty to me there.
