Old World: A Historical Strategy Game of Dynasty and Legacy

In Old World, you will manage an empire over multiple generations. Will you leave behind a great legacy in an era of powerful kings and queens?

Forge political marriages, raise heirs, and build relationships with noble families in your realm. In the brutal world of monarchs, familial ties are the strongest bonds.

Dynamic Noble Families

Each of the seven kingdoms is home to four noble families. Grant them a city, and they will repay you with various benefits. Influence these families through events, actions, and marriages. A happy family will be loyal, while an unhappy or overly powerful one can turn your life into a nightmare. Create a strong dynasty or indulge in scandalous affairs.

Unique Characters

The world is filled with remarkable individuals, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. They will help you lay the foundations of your empire, defend it from foes, and establish relations with other rulers. Recruit renowned warriors, philosophers, builders, and more. Appoint mentors for your children, generals for your armies, and trusted advisors for yourself.

Evolving Personalities

Characters age, gain experience, and eventually pass on, making way for the next generation. Use their diverse traits to tackle different tasks in similar roles, optimizing the strengths of governors, diplomats, spies, and even your spouse.

Uncharted Territories

Explore a vast world filled with nomadic tribes, wild barbarians, and remnants of forgotten cultures. Discover artifacts and encounter legendary heroes by exploring ruins scattered across the map.

Engaging Events and Scenarios

Participate in over 3,000 unique events inspired by history and mythology. Encounters with foreigners can trigger a chain of events, stories, and palace intrigues. Pursue ambitions and strive to leave a legacy as a conqueror, innovator, or champion of faith.

Diverse Gameplay Options

Choose from historically-based scenarios, weekly challenges, and both randomly generated and handcrafted maps. Lead Carthage to victory in the Punic Wars as Hannibal, fend off barbarian hordes, or compete with other players in fictional scenarios.

Innovative 4X Strategy Mechanics

Old World offers a fresh take on key elements of the 4X genre:

• Resource Management: Buildings require wood and stone, not just "industry points." Population growth isn't solely reliant on "food."
• Universal Orders: Orders serve as a universal resource, allowing units to move until they tire or run out of orders.
• Dynamic Technology Development: The tech tree is randomly generated, making each playthrough unique.
• Quality of Life Improvements: Features like undoing commands and helpful hints enhance decision-making.
