00:00We are Redemption Road, the creators of Kingmakers.
00:04For the past few years, we've been developing Kingmakers on our own custom version of Unreal Engine 4.
00:11Kingmakers is our dream game, attempting something no game has done before,
00:17and we're excited to share it with you.
00:30Kingmakers asks a simple question.
00:33What if you brought modern weapons to the Middle Ages in order to rewrite history?
00:40In Kingmakers, you travel to 1403 to help Owen Gwyndor transform a Welsh rebellion into an empire.
00:50My beloved, must you kill so many people?
00:53Well, unfortunately, these brilliant English scientists sent me back a thousand years
00:58to get your dad on the throne, and I don't have another way to do that.
01:02What about diplomacy?
01:03Ha!
01:04You think your dad used diplomacy in the original timeline when he conquered England?
01:08You think he had a tea party with King Henry VIII?
01:11Henry V.
01:12Huh? What?
01:14You're there to help Wales defeat Henry V.
01:17You know, Battle of Agincourt.
01:20You're not just a foot soldier in Kingmakers.
01:23You're responsible for the army itself, using an interface similar to games like Age of Empires, Stronghold, or Mana Lords.
01:32As you claim territory, you'll lay siege to enemy castles, establish settlements in hostile lands,
01:39and defend them against attacks from massive armies.
01:43Even with an army at your side, you're still heavily outnumbered.
01:47You're the deciding factor, with an arson, guns, vehicles, air support from the future.
01:54Kingmakers Tech is truly groundbreaking.
01:57Every mission features tens of thousands of soldiers, with the same level of fidelity that you'd expect from a triple
02:04-A shooter.
02:06Every tree and building is fully destructible.
02:12The result is an incredibly unique experience that can be played solo or in up to four-player co-op.
02:20Kingmakers uses the already performant Unreal Engine 4 with our own custom tech on top,
02:27with a focus on maximizing CPU and GPU performance.
03:03We've designed Kingmakers to be a great single-player experience.
03:08But the entire campaign is playable in drop-in, drop-out, four-player co-op.
03:14In the timeline we're familiar with, 1402, the Welsh noble Owen Gwyndor rebelled against England to gain independence for Wales.
03:25Unfortunately, his rebellion was crushed.
03:28However, this is not the true timeline.
03:31It's an alteration caused by a mysterious force called the Precept.
03:37But if in the original timeline my father defeated King Henry and conquered England,
03:42then why do you need to fix things? Who changed everything?
03:47Hmm.
03:47Someone bad.
03:49In the true timeline, Owen Gwyndor was successful.
03:53This is the timeline you must restore.
03:56And we're to believe that unless Wales conquers England, the whole Earth gets destroyed?
04:04Yep. And it's way bigger than you think.
04:07You don't even know about America.
04:09As you progress through the campaign, you'll encounter increasingly difficult foes from both the past and future who want to
04:17preserve the timeline the way it is.
04:20It's on you to send whatever silver, copper and gold you find back to the present day so your support
04:26team can buy you better weapons.
04:28This includes submachine guns, automatic rifles, mini guns, grenade launchers and eventually things like turrets, airstrikes, tanks and helicopters.
04:46When establishing a new settlement in hostile territory, you're responsible for building farms, lumber mills and other structures to get
04:55your economy up and running.
04:57As you explore each territory on foot or on wheels, you'll also be able to loot English villages and forts.
05:24At any point, you can switch to the strategy view.
05:28From here, you can give orders, construct buildings, commission officers and call up new levies of soldiers.
05:41To sustain a settlement, you'll need to house your peasants, establish farms on fertile soil and harvest lumber from nearby
05:49forests.
05:51If fortune favors you, silver or iron deposits may be within reach.
05:57As a settlement expands, so too must its walls and fortifications.
06:04Every structure you build is true to life in scale, fully furnished, navigable and destructible.
06:29With barracks built, you can train soldiers.
06:32At first, you'll only be able to recruit poorly trained peasants.
06:35But, as the settlement expands, you'll field cavalry, archers, berserkers, men-at-arms and more.
06:43Each has its own unique advantages on the battlefield.
06:48As you conquer territory, you'll need to complete unique objectives in service of owing Gwyndor's rebellion.
06:55A mission might task you with sieging an enemy castle, chasing down an English spy or escorting Welsh noblemen through
07:03your territory.
07:05If you're playing the campaign in core, each player will command his own army.
07:11But conquering territory won't go unchallenged.
07:15English barons and nobles will throw massive armies at your settlements.
07:20Engagements in Kingmakers often involve thousands of soldiers, each making his own decisions on when to attack, when to back
07:28off and when to retreat.
07:30Dictated by a complex system, morale and loyalties.
07:35Taking one enemy could trigger fellow soldiers to run in fear, counter-attack in a vengeful rage.
07:51If you take down a high-ranking officer, this can cause a domino effect that leads to a massive retreat.
07:56A
08:00Let's go.
08:42Use the strategy view to defend your settlement from sieges.
08:47Surviving means knowing what threats your soldiers can handle and when more personal intervention is needed.
08:56Defenses like walls, archer towers, ballistas and trebuchets can make the difference.
09:02Your team in the present can also help with air support and turrets.
09:08In Kingmakers, battlefields are built at true-to-life scale.
09:12Fortunately, you can call in a motorcycle to get around quickly.
09:22Later in the campaign, you'll be able to call in cars and trucks that offer more protection.
09:34Eventually, you'll earn armoured vehicles and tanks.
09:40As you rack up victories, the enemy will promote more powerful officers, often equipping them with thick, heavy iron armour
09:50and shields.
09:51These are capable of deflecting lower calibre bullets.
09:55So weapon upgrades are crucial.
09:57A heavily armoured knight won't hesitate to charge through his own men, or burst through a wall to get him.
10:18Enemy officers are valuable when captured alive.
10:21You can ransom them for gold, torture them for info, or execute them to boost your army's morale.
10:34As you expand your conquest across England and Scotland, you'll earn experience to permanently upgrade your character class.
