Kingmakers, the game that asks 'What if you brought an M1 Abrams main battle tank to a knife fight,' is set to enter early access on October 8, and with that date slowly grinding nearer developer Redemption Road has released its debut dev blog—which I'm sorry to say is not about M1 Abrams main battle tanks, but rather the game's medieval units and machinery, and how you'll handle them on the battlefield.
Kingmakers will launch into early access with six unit types, each with distinct strengths and weaknesses: Swordsmen, Spearmen, Cavalry, Archers, Berserkers, and Men-at-arms. Most of those units will also be upgradeable through two or three tiers, and can be further enhanced by a "full skill tree" powered by collectible holy relics. Medieval machinery including trebuchets, ballistae, and archer towers will also be on tap.
