 Description

Knights Province is a Real-Time Strategy game (RTS) focused around city-building and resource management. With the Knights Province our goal is to bring classic RTS gameplay into modern world. We have written the Knights Province engine from scratch. The Knights Province is built using: Delphi XE2+, OpenGL, OpenAL, Overbyte ICS, PNGImage, zLib, MadExcept, libZPlay.
 

 System Requirements

Knights Province system requirements:
    - Microsoft Windows XP or higher;
    - 1 GHz CPU or faster;
    - 512MB RAM;
    - 3D graphics accelerator (OpenGL 3.0 compliant);
    - Sound card.
    - Network connection for multiplayer (in future versions).
 

 Installation

1. Unpack the archive contents into a new folder.
2. Install the OpenAL audio drivers (oalinst.exe) if they are not already present. The latest version can be found on the official OpenAL page: http://www.openal.org/downloads/
3. Knights Province uses the OpenGL rendering engine, so you need to have OpenGL drivers installed as well. Visit your graphics card manufacturer site to get the latest drivers available.
4. Launch the game - KnightsProvince.exe
 

 F.A.Q.

Silent crashes:
If the Knights Province crashes silently during startup please send the log file to contact@knightsprovince.com along with any other information that might be of use.

Low framerate:
If you have ridiculously low framerate in game it might be because your OpenGL drivers are out of date. See the OpenGL version information in the top-left corner of the main menu, it should be at least 3.0.x. If it is less you need to update your graphics card drivers (check your card manufacturers website).

Game errors:
Sometimes when something unexpected happens you will get an "An error has occurred in the application" message. Please click the Send Bug Report button to send the crash report to us. Enter your name and email address in the form if you would like us to be able to contact you about the crash. Having the crash report will help us to fix the bug.
