Old World

Lead an Empire Through Generations in Old World

Old World invites players into a rich tapestry of historical strategy, where the weight of leadership extends across generations. You’ll navigate the complexities of building an enduring legacy while managing familial relationships and political alliances. Engage with a world brimming with intricate characters and scenarios inspired by real history, guiding your empire towards glory or ruin.

Manage Noble Families and Court Dynamics

At the heart of Old World are the seven kingdoms, each with four noble families that influence your cities and governorships. Crafting alliances through marriages, events, and actions can bolster your empire. Neglect or offend these families, and the consequences may be dire. Successful management of familial ties not only yields benefits but also heightens the stakes of your reign, as loyalty and power dynamics shift constantly.

Characters with Depth and Development

Characters in Old World possess distinct personality traits that evolve over time. As they age, they gain experience, develop strengths, and face decline. These changes make every court member pivotal in advancing your empire’s objectives. Whether you recruit renowned warriors to lead your armies or engaging philosophers to tutor your heirs, the choices you make will shape diplomatic outcomes and military success.

Uncover Rich Historical Events and Scenarios

Explore a meticulously crafted world where hundreds of historically inspired events await discovery. Encounter foreign dignitaries whose interactions can trigger intricate storylines, courtroom dramas, or unforeseen consequences. Navigate challenges tied to conquest, faith, and development, and participate in scenarios such as the Punic Wars or fictional campaigns that encourage strategic exploration.

A Fresh Take on Resource Management

In Old World, resource management transcends the traditional. Buildings require wooden and stone materials instead of generic “industry,” promoting a more tactile feel to construction. Unique mechanics, like shared Orders across your realm, allow for fluid movement of units, improving tactical decision-making. This revitalizes familiar aspects of the 4X genre while enhancing gameplay complexity.

Multiplayer Modes for Competitive Strategy

Whether you prefer hotseat, asynchronous, or cooperative play, Old World accommodates various multiplayer modes. Compete against friends or tackle historical challenges together, broadening your strategic experience. Engage in challenges that test your skills against others, making for replayable content that keeps players returning long after the campaign concludes.

Explore Diverse Maps and Artifacts

The vast wilderness of Old World is dotted with ruins, artifacts, and unresolved cultures, waiting to be discovered. Your exploration can yield significant rewards, offering new technologies and alliances. Choose between uniquely handcrafted maps or randomly generated landscapes, enriching each session with fresh discoveries. This variety enhances not only replayability but also the immersion in this historical strategy environment.
