I played this game a lot on hardest, so I'll give you some tips. - Maintaining the peace is possible only in theory. Eventually you'll have to fight and having upgraded units can save you. - Unlike Civ, having 20 units in this game is a good starting number because they die a lot. - 1-2 combat strength is a hudge difference. Fightting early with warriors an AI that has axemen is a lost cause - I found a great way to save your units is to move them in a formation: 1 frontline of infantry that can fortify, archers behind them and very importantly - siege units behind. Starting a war with this formation on the frontline is a big advantage. Clear 2-3 units and move forward. Onve the AI looses a big part of it's army. I scatter my units and quickly take all cities. - After unlocking the spymaster you can send your scouts to foreign cities and sacrifice them to enter the city as a spy and you'll have full vision on that city - unhappiness causes big problems in the late game when it accumulates - accumulating tons of resources is very important, but don't surround all urban tiles. Later when having access to urban buildings they'll need space and they can be build only adjacent to two urban tiles. - roads make a big difference not only for connecting cities but moving armies. They cost 20 stone on hills and 10 on flat land - If you have a river with forests - save them for high yield lumbermills. Same for mountains/volcanoes with quarries. I hope to see you play on The Great

[@trengilly01]

I just love Old World . . . . its like the Civ game I always wanted! I haven't played on The Great level yet but have multiple games at Glorious and Magnificent levels. So far I have had good success with making alliances and playing AI off against each other. Between marrying into AI empires, influencing them, making trade deals, working all the events, and even bowing to their occasional demands there are a lot of options for diplomacy. challengesurrounded

[@Frozenrider]

Hey :D You sound like you know what you are doing, may I ask how you usually deal with unhappiness on higher levels?

[@skyfall7110]

@@Frozenrider I also play the great but I am not as experienced. Still, the pacify city mission usually does the trick

[@trengilly01]

@@Frozenrider I try to keep discontent as low as possible but it always tends to rise to 4 and 5 for most cities before I can really control it. But there are lots of options: Governors, -2 for the righteous ones. Giving Luxuries to the city Baths and/or Amphitheaters Religion beliefs/temples Laws: Constitution and Tolerance and later ones. Walls and an appropriate family unit defending Make sure every city is connected And if your city has a high Civic level you can use festivals . . . but you need to be able to build them in just a few years to make them worth it. You won't have all these options in every game or right away but there should be enough options to manage it.

[@panchoverde5078]

I don't play this game, but you're spouting out pure logic. Well read

[@Zabaknuur]

So the storytelling of the CK series with Civ-like gameplay and with a dash of the Endless series, this game seems like a love letter to 4X/Grand Strategy games

This game is a ton of fun. My friend and I played multiplayer the other day, and he got the random event where he adopted a pet monkey. For the rest of the game, periodically he was given choices to make about the monkey... and he eventually set the monkey loose on the world to secretly assassinate other world leaders. Shit is crazy -- no two games are exactly the same. SO much fun.

[@yompingmoose]

Really glad you're making Old World vids - I've really been enjoying the game, thanks for the introduction!

[@droe2570]

Eating BBQ potato chips while watching this. And yeah, the game is very cool, having a blast playing it. So the Spearmen can hit enemy units behind your target unit in a line for, I think, 25% damage. Axmen can hit units in an arc for the same 25% (units adjacent to your target unit).

[@meaghanjones6725]

More Old World please! I am loving this game, both playing it and watching you play it!

[@OddityDK]

Using the leader Romulus as governor in Rome seems like a no brainer to me. +2 growth alone is worth it, makes building settlers, workers faster and increases how often a new specialist can be created. If not then at least use him as a general so he gains xp.

[@PlamoTherapy]

I hope this comes to Steam. I just noticed that Production is decoupled and uses different resources, so that's interesting.

It's probably not a bad idea to grab Ishtar Gate when you can. You can pop it there and take your worker out. You can wait for you to have many many cities then finish your Ishtar Gate. If anything you stop AI from getting it.

[@robertposaric6419]

Well I think Epic Games funded the developers to make the game in the first place so... you might as well reinstall it =)

[@Baconomics1]

if you don't like Epic Games and want to avoid using their launcher, after you get the game you can play it entirely through Steam by clicking "add a non-steam game to my library". Epic is only needed for buying and downloading it. The game also updates through Epic though so sign in every time a new patch is released

[@Carendel]

@@Baconomics1 Yeah, they happen to still be scummy ***** that got caught up in one too many alleged fiddles with your steam data events for me to want to touch em. And yes, what they touch does seem to get a bit of that sweet **** on them too. I'll wait til I can get the game elsewhere so I can feel better about where my pennies go.

[@DanksterPaws]

Yes especially the mechanic where you have successors so you arent just an immortal ruler like civ 6
