I want to play knights of honor on android phone plz help

[Chompers]

The game is 16 years old why would you expect to be able to do that?

If you really really want to play on Android, there's no other way than to install VMWare and install Windows, or use something like Wine (eg https://thenextweb.com/apps/2018/01/23/wine-emulator-arrives-on-android-to-let-you-run-windows-apps-on-your-phone/) to let you install KOH on your phone

Normally I'd also make a statement about how your GPU may not run it, but considering this game is from 2004, I honestly wouldn't know if a phone can run it.

Either way, for setup;
- Install Windows through a virtual machine
OR
- Install a Windows package such as Wine (recommended)

- You may need a touch to mouse converter, KOH may not support touch as well as you think


Now to actually install the game
- Use Steam for Windows to download and install & pray Steam doesn't wet the bed on Android
OR
- Use DRM free version of KOH
- Install KOH through a LAN shared folder
OR
- Use a KOH disk (possibly through another computer)


It's still a huge gamble if the game works or the game can be installed. Or that it supports your resolution, the lack of a standard GPU

I'd assume because it has settings in system directories (eg, on Windows it saves in your documents). I do not know how Wine handles this, if at all. You /may/ require a bricked android (basically an android device with super rights, but this makes you lose your warranty because it may turn your android... into a brick. Dead. Non-functional) in order to have Wine access your Android document root.

If it can't make OR load these game settings in your Android "documents", you can expect an "access denied".

Thanks for your help dear, I heard wine doesn't work fully on arm devices and works fine on ×86 devices, so mine is arm so may be that's why it denies access, is it right?

[jksirai]

May be there's a difference in ×86 device and arm device, so mine is note 8 arm device may be thats why it makes problem

I doubt that affects the filesystem. You may require to brick your phone, but honestly it's probably easier (, but not necessarily easy, and much safer) to install a Windows VM on your Android at this point.

Can also search for alternatives of Wine. I don't exactly have an interest of booting up Windows apps on Android so I don't have any extra knowledge of this.

Don't think the game will appreciate the resolution change or lack of cursor though.

If they make it easier to play on phone or pad, lots of people would jump to buy those devices. Mobile beats PC on 2-3hours of public transports. Just the small screen, and touch over mouse.
