Let’s play Old World, an amazing new 4X from Hooded Horse and Mowhawk Games with the just released Sacred and the Profane DLC live! I
have never played Old World before, so I am starting this game with the tutorial missions, learning the ropes and seeing what Old World has to offer. It’s great that it is both like and unlike Civilization, a hex-based 4X with which I have more familiarity, and I am excited to see how Old World carves its own space in the 4X landscape!
Come see what’s new in Old World!

Looks like something I'd love to sink into, but I'm afraid I'll sink too deep.
Old World is a very fun game. Its game systems are really deep and all tie together beautifully. There is a full event system which you haven't encountered yet . . . over 3000 different events (and event chains) that really let you build up a story of your kingdom. It has a bit of a Crusader Kings feel with events and your family and relations to other characters in the game.
The AI is also very good, better than in most games like Civ. The AI will absolutely kick your butt the first few times you play until you learn how the combat system works, terrain modifiers, unit promotions, general effects, etc.
The orders system is pretty unique . . . most turns you won't have enough orders to move all your units or take various government actions . . . you have to make tough decisions about what's most important . . . especially when a war starts . . . suddenly needing to move a ton of units for combat shuts down your civilian units.
Absolutely fantastic 'serious' 4x strategy game.
Thanks for trying Old World out!
If you have any questions please feel free to reply here, and I'll give you answers. And apologies for the mis-directed "found city on green highlighted tiles". Urban tiles used to highlight green when a settler was on them, but appears they don't anymore. I'll have to fix that text up. 🙂
You can tell a unit to pass, sentry, alert or disband using the little icons under the "Promote" action. Hope that helps.

Old World has a pretty cool victory system in the regular game. In addition to the traditional 'kill all the other powers' or out score them via points, the primary victory is an Ambition victory. You have to complete 10 ambitions. You get presented with different ambitions to choose from throughout the game and what options you get are based on how you are playing or what families you have selected (so if you are fighting a lot you will get military ambitions to choose from, if you have a Cleric family you will get some religious ambition options, or focus on development or science or a mix of things). Basically you get to mold the victory condition around how you choose to play the game.
7 Wonders is the game you're thinking of. It is a bit like that yeah, but more closely related to deck-building genre of tabletop games, like Dominion
I have played Old World for… it looks like 420 hrs. I like it a lot. It gets updated regularly with fixes a tweaks. It's come a long way since early access. It is indeed dense, especially once you add the family relations into the mix, but its a great game to "sink into". I regularly have play by cloud multiplayer games going, its great for that. lots of ways to customize your gameplay experience
I’m a big fan of this game and I’ll watch if you play it. It’s criminally under-represented on YouTube for how good it is, so it’s always nice to see a new content creator try it out.
