Old World is the Best Contender for Civilization's 4X Crown

[@mohammadkamelan1047]

Honestly, this game is everything I've ever wanted. I've always been looking for a 4X game with intrigue, and this one delivers. The intrigue mechanics are really cool.

This game is such an underrated beast and I love it! Always a joy to see more people talking about it!

I would like to see a other time periode or a Star wars total conversion

I just started playing but I love it 🥰

This video is really high quality. Hope there are coming more. Conquer the algorithm.

I do still make videos - but on another channel. I make weekly strategy game stuff over at @GinxTV Plenty more 4X content planned there (including some more Old World soon - 'cos I've been itching to make another video on it!)

I've been watching several reviews of this game in the past days and I was on the fence about buying but you convinced me by a wide margin. great video!!!

Considering getting this on sale. Thinking of getting this and 3 of the expansions. The ones that add events. I am a sandbox person. I think it would be $35 usd total. Love Crusader Kings 3 and enjoy Civ. Any advice? Should I pull the trigger or just play CK3? Btw I have a degree in history to add to info. Thanks for any advice/tips and for the video

Hey sorry I am late If you want no family management and court intrigue at all but only 4X : Civ If you want it balanced (family+4X) and don't care about the graphics of your characters : Old World If you care about graphics, roleplay and the depth of the characters : CK3

I love this game. Best 4x hands down. The order system is game changing and solves to the grind factor in the late game that other 4x just don't.

[@jyutzler]

It might be the best out there, but I still clamor for more diverse play styles. Expansionism into a points victory is the only way to win at higher difficulty levels and that puts it a step below Civ VI for me, even though it is superior in other ways.

[@snaphaan5049]

Okay, you did make a good argument. Maybe I should give it another go. It's a great game ... on paper. But playing it is a draaaaag. Part of it might be all the events but the real BIG issue is you play the same tech for basically the whole game. So that means there is nothing "entertaining" or "fun" to aim toward except number crunching and gaining territory. Sure, there is research but it's all happening in the back of the engine.

[@adzi6164]

tech in 4X games is ultimately just mostly about rising numbers (which exceptions of techs that allows you to do completely new things - but majority of these are present in non-modern techs, anyway). Just because it doesn't become looking more and more modern, doesn't mean Old World's tech doesn't count.

[@jyutzler]

@@adzi6164 There is some tech but you barely get to use it. If it is advantageous for you to get into a late-game war, then you probably have the game won already. It's just a "win faster" situation, except it take longer in real time to manage armies. If the AI snowballs before you do, all the tech in the game won't matter.

[@mhead81]

I just get crushed :)

[@adzi6164]

play on easy until you learn

[@Jagetful]

OK you sold it. Will try it.
