00:00Welcome to Renaissance Kingdom Wars, an age of gunpowder rebellion.
00:07It's time to bring back the golden days of strategy games, reinvented with modern standards, and complete with retro 2000s graphics.
00:19The 16th century was a time of transformation, and this is a living map of that world.
00:26Stretching from the Atlantic to North Africa and the Middle East.
00:31You begin as a landless mercenary captain with a small band of soldiers as you sail to distant shores to fight for coin and survival.
00:43Forge your path through bloody battles that you take on as mercenary contracts.
00:54And with luck, don't die, and you'll claim your first patch of land to call home.
01:01It's good you have returned, my lord. The peasants seem lost when you're away.
01:05Continue your ascent to power with direct control over your first home in RTS mode.
01:13Directly manage every peasant, building, and livestock.
01:18You will slowly expand from a humble hamlet to a sprawling city worthy of your ambitions.
01:26Here, players build and manage their town, controlling every detail with their own hands.
01:34Construct key buildings to strengthen your economy, train troops, and unlock future research.
01:42Take a pause to admire the beauty of your creation.
01:46The towns are truly vast, meticulously recreated.
01:52Sail your armies to do your king's bidding.
01:56Take new mercenary contracts.
01:59The Renaissance world unfolds before you, a living map.
02:05The 16th century saw extraordinary breakthroughs in science and engineering.
02:11These are reflected in an extremely complex and rewarding tech tree.
02:17Diplomacy will be key to building relations with the king and your neighbors.
02:22The Renaissance was a time of fierce competition for trade.
02:27Access to ports and trade routes was vital for survival, so naval engagements are crucial to safeguarding commerce.
02:36Cannons were still new aboard ships in the early Renaissance,
02:40and naval engagements were often focused on boarding enemy vessels for brutal close-quarters combat.
02:48Witness the brutality of Renaissance warfare on sea and land with constant siege combat.
02:59During sieges, the RTS gameplay shines in full glory.
03:05Defenders must collect resources, convert citizens into troops, and deploy wall-mounted weapons to hold their ground.
03:14Managing supplies, healing, and troop placement will decide victory or defeat.
03:21Mercenary allies, modern gunpowder weapons, and well-planned strategies can turn the tide.
03:29Watch as enemy forces falter, retreating in disarray, while your steadfast defenses hold strong.
03:38As the game progresses, new weapons of war will dominate, and kingdoms lagging in research will fall.
03:47And when medieval stone walls fall to cannons, the city becomes a battlefield.
03:53Hand-to-hand combat erupts in chaos and destruction.
03:58Homes burn, and the fate of nations hangs in the balance.
04:03Your goal is to unite the world under your banner, from humble beginnings as a mercenary to ruling as an emperor.
