December 2025 - Just in time for the Christmas season, Knights Province reaches a major development milestone with the release of Alpha 13, the major update after two years since previous Alpha 12. Following the previous Alpha 12 release, this new version delivers substantial tec
In the old system, units would eat everything they can in the order it is available in the Tavern till they get to 90% satiety. This had several drawbacks: It would look odd to see units consume both Ale and Cider, or Fish and Sausage. Sometimes units would overeat and waste the
October is a special month in Knights Province history - the game was conceived almost exactly 10 years ago back in October of 2013. It has been three years since the last big release of Alpha 11. There was a lot of work done to make the game look and play better than ever. Here

Knights Tavern (KT for short) is a codename for the accounts server we have been developing since 2019. Accounts were one of the more often requested features in KaM Remake, but we never had expertise or bravery to actually implement it (well, for numerous reasons). Attempts were
Fences have been long on the game’s todo list. Being a really neat feature described by a single word, it comes with a lot of problems to solve. How does one approaches a feature like that? First the “wants” had to be outlined. Fences might have a number of variants and uses in t
Campaign menu is one of the menus that received the least attention during Alpha development so far. Why is that? Well, it’s not as important as the main game or map editor - it’s rarely used and serves a small role of allowing to click “Start mission” or choose to replay the pre
