Knights Downloads

Knights: Version 26 (14-May-2024)

Download Windows installer (3.8 M)
Download source code for Linux and Windows (1.3 M)
Download the server for Windows (1.3 M; only needed if you want to run your own server)

Note: If you use Linux, there might be a Knights package already available for your distribution (look for "knightsgame" or "knights"). If not, you could try running the Windows version via WINE (I'm told this works well), or just build the game from source.

Release notes

First new release for nearly 10 years! :)

This is basically just a "maintenance" release, tidying up some things, upgrading to newer library versions, and so on.

• The Knights window now defaults to maximized when the game is first opened.
• Updated versions of libraries used, e.g. we are now using SDL 2 instead of SDL 1.
• Windows: Update to latest Visual Studio version, replace NuGet with VCPKG, and build in 64-bit mode.
• Linux: Fix some issues with the Makefile (we now use pkg-config instead of curl-config, sdl-config etc).
• Reduced game sound volume slightly.
• Licensing change: The game is now licensed under GPL version 2 or higher, instead of version 3 or higher (see COPYRIGHT.txt in the distribution for the exact legal terms).

GitHub

There is a GitHub repository for the game.

Amiga Knights

If you are looking for the original Amiga Knights, it is still available from Aminet. Alternatively, you can download this ADF file (880 K) which boots directly into the game.
