Description

Knightmaster is a medieval jousting career sim. You manage the life of Sir Aldric Thornwald, an ageing knight on the tourney circuit of 1173: pick tourneys, buy and lose armour, trade horses, talk to rivals who remember you — and, pass after pass, decide how much to risk on the tilt.

Knights age, learn from what they actually do and carry their injuries. When your knight dies, his squire inherits the name, the house and the debts, and the career continues through generations.

Features

Tactical jousting: secret, simultaneous choices of aim, guard and lance — plus the risky "Give Yourself" — then a strike-or-pull timing call.
Ransoms: lose a bout and your armour is ransomed; unhorse a rival in the first pass and take his horse.
A living fair: armourers, horse traders, heralds, barber-surgeons, fortune tellers, cooks and beggars.
Around sixty persistent circuit knights with distinct styles and long memories.
Ageing, injuries, death — and an heir who rides on. Constant autosave; no reloading your way out.
