- Iron Harvest 1920+ tells and epic, overarching story following three factions and their protagonists. Each faction offers different tactical opportunities. in the intense tactical battles. This not only allows an intense story telling spanning over 20 missions in three campaigns but also guarantees deep tactical multiplayer experiences in which strategy beats clicks per second at any time. Additional Skirmish and Challenge Maps allow to challenge the AI alone or in co-op with a friend.
After the great war and on the brink of revolution, the Rusviet nation is struggling to keep a constant flow of resources up and running. Ressources they desperately need to fuel their huge, expensive war machines. Today’s video introduces the Rusviet Mechs and gives a first idea on how they are used best on the battlefields of Iron Harvest 1920+
Inspired by post WWI-history Iron Harvest tells the story of an Rusviet Empire facing internal struggles while trying to maintain a dominant position on the battlefields. Close combat with heavy mechs or slow but highly devastating artillery are to be balanced when players lead the Rusviet soldiers to the front.

No looks more like that nose who has a large check and keeps talking about labour.
Sounds more like some merchants
Do you know his name? I always forget
@@sammysocks6801 not sure about his name, but I heard he got rejected from an art school. Maybe thats why hes throwing tantrums?

Wehrmacht: We have a remote-controlled tracked mine called the Goliath.
Saxony: Hold my monocyle-bomb carrying Steifmutter.
Interesting fact, "Steifmutter" means "Stepmother" in German- which as we all know, were cold-hearted and cruel in most fairytales.
So in a way, those explosive monocycles that it churns out are like its reckless and destructive children.

Damn the Krieg death Korps lookin fresh
Citizens of the Imperium, we are the Death Korps of Krieg. In the darkest of nights, in the bleakest of moments, upon the most hellish of battlefields, we men of Krieg will fight, without complaint or compromise till our last dying breath. For in death, we atone for our sins against the emperor. Pray to the emperor you never need us and on the dark day when you do, know the emperor hears your prayers and we are coming. For our duty is to the emperor and to you. To all enemies of the Imperium, pray to whatever false gods you have that you never face us, for where the emperors Death Korps goes, hethans such as yourselves will know fear and pain. For we are the unstoppable hammer of the immortal emperor, and no force can stem the tsunami of our wrath.
Signed
-Major Gustavus Adolphus Jörge
We always do.
you serve the empire well

Looks great! Finally, after 14 years a game that reminds me of Paraworld.
When i played the campaign i thought the exact same thing.. especially in the cutscenes..
Oh snap I forgot about paraworld I need to find a new download for that game.
Dude, there's a game called Warparty on the Xbox one that is the successor to paraworld
Paraworld, now thats a game I haven't heard of in a long, long time..
"Saxon mechs are named after stuff from fairy tails" me: okay nice
"Erlkönig is a Schwerer Gustaf with legs" *starting to sweat
"Wolfenstein Supertroops with Mortars on their backs" *starting to drool
"Goliath mine dispenser" me: here it comes, where do you want it
"Chad Kaiser Wilhelm with beard, Mech-arm, Pickelhaube and two doggos": the room is white now.
These can be found on the internet only. What a time we live in!
I think it more Chad Otto von Bismark with wolves and Mech. Because.... There is Wilhelm in this game. And much like our Wilhelm who hate British. This Wilhelm hate Rusviet.
Kevin Smith might approve of this game.
@@unknownbenefactor8029 Not to mention alongside many characters being younger than their real-timeline counterparts, Wilhelm suffers from premature balding at the center of his skull instead of a janky stunted arm.
> Named them after creatures of dark fairytales.
> Biggest mech named "kaiser"
I like the immense explosive power of the Saxonian mechs and how they have technology specifically for the great war.
You cruel maniacs, you really want to release a Stiefmutter onto the battlefield. Wouldn't a Hausdrache have been enough? Have you no compassion with all the poor lasses and lads that have suffered at the hands of a Stiefmutter since pre-historic times?
I like how the Saxon mechs are needlessly over-designed, with overspecialized abilities. Shows how decadent the Empire has become, putting more gimmicks into their army than it needs rather than what's practical.
In what gimmick saxon is ?
Well, to be honest this is how real world weaponry and machines of war works. Most weaponry and most tools of war are built for specific purposes rather than being all-round mediocre tools of war. Take something like artillery in the real world. It is useless if used from mid to close range and aren't really that effective outside of shelling big targets. Take nuclear and hydrogen bombs and missiles, they're only good at killing indiscriminately. Take something as simple as a heavy machine gun which is only a covering weapon, it cannot work well without a squad. This is just taking that logic and applying it to sci-fi warfare. It would be advantageous to build mechs for very specific purposes if you had the manpower and resources to both build mechs for any situation and to support them with other mechs and men on the ground. Something like the Stiefmutter or the Erlkönig would never operate individually or alone in a realistic theatre of war - they would be heavily guarded support mechs, that would be difficult to reach and which would make it VERY hard for the enemy to respond to whatever operation said mechs were supporting!
One is the biggest mobile artillery platform in the game, and thus outranges everything and can be very safe on a battlefield if supported by an advancing army and a garrison, while providing artillery support that cannot be answered. The other is a mobile ground torpedo platform that would likely advance just behind the army and be sent in with support to release a barrage of torpedos at points of the line that needs to be destabilised before an advance. These are both RIDICULOUSLY effective weapons of war and are a hell of a lot more effective than most of the all rounder mechs if we applied real world military logic to it.
Thats not decadence thats just how Germans build things in general.
@@ButterBoyism laughs in AK
If anything in this game is built practically they would have used wheels and tracks instead of legs
I hope that this universe grows it's a really awsome idea
There is also a turn based tabletop game (there is a pc version on steam too) set in the same universe called Scythe. I was kind of hoping Iron Harvest would be that, but with real time battles. I hope they can add a Scythe-like campaign mode in an expansion.
oof
I wonder if they're going to add Albion, Togawa, and Chrimea as DLC factions and campaigns.
Nice resistance referance
@@zalekvoris1517 Not a resistance reference, they just misspelled Crimea.
(Edit: The Crimean Khanate, Clan Albion, and the Togawa Shogunate are playable factions in the board game Scythe, set in the same universe as Iron Harvest.)
@@boxcarz I mean, one of the characters in prologue mentions the "Northern Kingdoms" and "Shogunate" possibly joining the war (tutorial is set before the war) so I took that as a possible foreshadowing? Maybe? I hope a little bit
AzureSkyCiel so is there a Ottoman like faction. I ask because well obviously they were also in WW1 and Arabic styled Steampunk mechs would be a design I'd be impressed to see. Imagine a Great Bombard with arms and legs.
@@kaneslives Sadly, not to my knowledge. the nations in Scythe have been Poland, Russia, Germany, England, Crimea, Japan, and Norway.
I play this game and Stiefmutter is a truly scary mech. Build 3 of these and it can wipe out waves of enemy.
Release the wheels!
The Stiefmutter is scary cause its name is synonymous with child abuse. Like the real deal, it threads defenses with needle-like precision and explodes where you are most vulnerable.
@@skymabile1613 That's the most creative description of the Stiefmutter (Stepmother) I've ever heard
@@dragonfell5078 Gives you chills when you realize why average foot soldiers are generally called "infantry." They're as defenseless as kindergarteners against the aptly named Stiefmutter.
Hell it's kamikaze, hula hoop wheels are equally, fittingly named "Hansel and Gretel."
@@skymabile1613 Oh god, I only just now made that connection. That's horrible (and awesome), haha
HANS! GET THE EISEN!
Fun fact: The military term "Shock and AWE" popularized in the early 2000s Does Not describe a psychological effect.
It's actually a mostly logistical term in assessing weapon effectiveness:
Shock (Amount of boom, basically) VS. Air Weapon Effect (on the ground impact)
Basically assessments used to determine which munitions should be used for which task.
I had some great Wolfenstein flashbacks. Well done.
Nothing is better than field cannon and Olga Morozova in this game :)

Not just Germans, my kin left Germany over a thousand years ago, but we still consider ourselves Saxon

@@maarten1115 England or Scandinavia
In this world if someone invents something called "Tank" mechs would probably be outclassed immediately
I hate to be a killjoy, but Tanks can be spotted in one of their trailers. Tanks still wouldn't replace mechs due to it having superior firepower and armor compared to tanks.
Lets just remember that Iron Harvest occurs after the Great War (WWI), the most effective tanks were the french Renault FT-17 tank, somewhat the British Mk. I - V and (although it never was used in combat) the Char 2C, and all of them we're slow (no more than 20 km/h, i guess?). If we compare all those mechs to those contemporary tanks, the mechs have some advantages over them IMO.
Pacheco Soto eh it not really however this is a mech game and it should be fun regardless. I mean mechs arent even possible with current technology in military applications.
Really looking at this through a non scientific lens and more is it cool and is the gameplay should be the focus we take.
@@parkerlong2658 I could'nt had said that better
Who would win?
- A heavily armed and armored mech.
- A couple of fly-bois
3:03 So it's a massive walking grenade with explosive monocycles.
Would be cool to see a zombie mode!
Having everyone come together and surviving would be something to behold.
Big mechs with flesh poking out of them? Hell yeah
Everybody gangsta until a saxonian mustache guy appear
I hope Togawa and Albion come out too in a DLC.
I love the fact that the narrator nails the pronunciation of the German words.
*Trailer start
Narator : *Intense Inhales
Watching these trailers after finally playing the game, they leave out some of the best mechs in these (obviously to find out for yourself) like the oh-so-glorious Isengrim which is a "light mech" but is able to punch pretty damn high about its weight class and armored enough to allow it to survive about anything in its own class. Heck, all of Saxony's mechs save the grimbart seem perfectly capable of toppling the heaviest of mechs.
You got that right, cause with the possible exception of Usonia, Saxony has the best infrastructure to experiment, refine and obviously over-engineer their mechs to perfection.
Oh my, i thought Saxony flag symbol is a black eagle or the iron cross
The Dragon.
Everybody gangsta until the explosive wheel no-clip through the machine
Iron harvest: For the tsar...
Dawn of war 2: For the emperor!
Iron Harvest is one of the greatest RTS, not because it's gameplay is any way exceptional, but because of its intriguing story and fascinating alternative yet, "not too far off from our own" universe. Best part is that the Germans are "NOT-zis" (cue finger wag) and way cooler! In fact thanks to this game, I see Germany as a badass nation of rich culture and historical contribution instead of the textbook cartoon villain regime Hollywood fondly makes it out to be, ala the Galactic Empire. The fact that the developer "King Art Games" is German makes sense why Saxony is the games most balanced faction. It's so fitting for Germanic efficiency. I hope more German people are exposed to this game and get their national pride back. Best case scenario, this game will inspire the people to "make Germany great again," enough to one-up Uncle Sam as a military superpower, if not build actual mechs to go with the package (close to the mechs in Heavy Gear/Votoms at least).
This would make a great film or even a series.
These vehicles are so impractical you'd think this is the 40k universe.
this is such a cool RTS left a like
If this game had exclusive variants of the different mech unlocked by research, the game would have probably stayed on my mind more
„As a modern industrial super power“
Modern day Saxony: *cries in poor eastern German* lmao
I like how his pet wolves are named Tag and Nacht
Day and Night in English
GOTT MIT UNS!
4:02 1902+ AT-AT
Best mecha strategy game since Zono Inc./Psygnosis's "Metal Fatigue." Aka Gundam Wing meets Command & Conquer. Speaking of C&C, while playing as Saxony,and triggering Wilhelm's hand cannon barrage attack, I coulda sworn I heard Wilhelm shout "Peace through power!"
Does somebody thinks that the PKM - 17 "Eisenhans" slowness is a great flaw to try to beat a Straznic?
Eisenhans is indeed quite slow, wish they would improve their speed a little bit. Takes them ages to get into position which is a shame cuz I love the unit, for its name, quotes and appearance
At this moment, November 2021, developers have not tweaked Pkp 17's speed yet, but buffed their armour.
Earlier I thought Eisenhans exoskeletons were kinda underpowered (especially their artillery damage comparing to other power armour), however their cost is even lower. Seem to be balanced. Honestly, I wish they would add a special veteran ability.
@@pkp17eisenhans69 would a charge attack for the Eisenhans exo suits work well?
Thanks for the video.
i love the folklore references. i also was traumatized as a german kid by our childrens stories that are supposed to keep us out of the forests
My favorite faction of the game
Sees the PKP
Ah I see this country is a fan on Jin-Roh as well.
They have an *AT-AT!*
I went so fast here enough that the War hasnt started yet
Also for sum feedbacks; the game was kinda bit laggy even with the completely low graphic settings,played the open beta and im using a laptop with intel core i5 with just 4GB ram
Your specs a bit low don't you think? This kind of game usually needs a minimum of 8gb of memory, but for the best performance it's probably need 16gb.
@@dantederi5062 it is :(
Get in the robot Hans!
When the Hans is Machine
I wonder if more vehicles will be added like the kvagen or the tsar tank
is it me or that mech is like a AT-AT walker in star wars
I hope the narrator's asthma gets better. It really sucks when you forget your medicin in the morning.
Just waiting on the shogunate.
Heros in this reminds me of Scythe, I like it. Now add in some army ability akin to company of heros callins and you got yourself a good game.
It's the same universe🤓
The squared unit in the trailer is kinda missing...
Saxony Emperor who looks like Franz Joseph I. Rusviet Emperor who looks like Joseph Stalin.
Lemme guess... Polania leader will look like Joseph Pilsudski?)
2:26 I'm probably finished watching when this is seen but please tell me of Saxon units that look like this I just got interested in Iron Harvest. I've created a TABS unit unit who would benefit from suggestions
4:18 You know what dire wolves are right? Their like wolves but they're dire.
I can't find it on the PS4 store
Awesome.
Man janovich made his own game
Saxony Army in a Nutshell: "German Science is the World's Finest"
Why dose this man sound like the narrator sound like the same narrator from every other WW1 game/documentary or am I just tripping?
Game releases in two days, I hope they fixed the mechs, couldn't even climb obstacles in the beta
"Stiefmutter" is the source of great suffenign. "Schwiegermutter" oder Schwägerin" hätte noch besser gepasst :p
so when it’s coming to switch the most popular and best selling console?

The dark forest calls.
I really want to play this but my laptop is too weak for this
I guess this world also hasnt invented Tank tracks yet.
Yup.. the irony being that the wheel is definitely around as some rusviet mechs use them to complement their legs, so they really could use armored wheels instead of mech legs.
maps seem really really small....
Kind of disappointed the heavy mortar troops don’t use any kind of machine gun
4:48 kommunist!
In released game: Verrater :D
*DERP Silver* should be ashamed of itself.
Will this be released on ps4 or only on 5?
Where is the Polania trailer?
No Air Force????
Nope, it's 1920 it's doesn't developed new engine yet.
Samurai Guntank is cool.
so brunhilde is a steampunk version of the star wars AT-AT? nice.

FOR SAXONY!!
Do it had lots of air force units
Can a war realy end all war?
So Scythe has a video game
I know that Saxons come from mainland Europe and created the Anglo-Saxons, but man, I can't not think of Britain when I hear the name Saxony. Rusviet, obviously Russia, Polania is obviously Poland, and Saxony is obviously the British (Anglo-Saxons). Oh wait, no Saxony is Germany
Saxony refers to the German state where the city of Dresden is. But yes, Saxons also live in Britain and Germany as they're both Germanic tribes.
So Rusviet: Close range, Saxony: long range, and Polania: balanced/rush/economy ?
Guess I'm going with Saxony then, I prefer long range and armor and the fact I can fuck over the fog of war.
Actually between Polania and Saxony it's vice-versa:
Polania= long range
Saxony=balanced
