Friend recommended this game to me. Is it any good?
fairly run of the mill 4x with a character system. Nothing really to set it apart from others. Never tried the DLC so I don't know what that adds.
>>2373367Yeah it's good, definitely get it on sale. You don't need any of the DLC, but if it's bundled at a steep discount it's good too.
>>2373367It's made by the Civ IV director so it's good.
>Can't pick city locHmm
>>2373367I liked it, not my favourite 4x but it's fun for what it is
>>2374064It just works, trust me bro. It's a better way to eliminate city spam than gay global happiness mechanics that artificially constrain expansion even when you have open land ripe for the taking. Also works thematically because you're playing in an Old World™ where all the valuable land and city sites have already been settled, and you're just taking them over.
>>2373367I did not like it. Not sure why as a huge civ fan, just found playing it to be a long meh 7/10 experience.
How is the Wrath of gods and Saar DLC?
>>2373367It's got some good ideas, but I disliked the character mechanics/events too much to really enjoy it.
DLC vampire game with every faction with an interesting quirk locked behind $9.99. It's also completely boring to play singleplayer.
>>2377394Wrath is sorta interesting with the disaster mechanics, but it's not amazing IMO. I have no plans on buying poos. Maybe in 2 years they will add china/indochina.
>>23744837/10 means better than average.
>>2378259Hilarious enough they are pretty broken with Ashoka getting access to all six families plus the ability to found Buddhism.Overall the game is pretty good, orders system is a nice touch. Victory conditions are kind of meh with basically just quests and points. Probably will get a points victory before conquest unless you turn it off.
is there an incest mod? I am playing the Ptolemies damn it I want to marry my sister.
>>2380664Why do it in game when you could do it in real life?
>>2373367bore world
>>2381978sadly I have no sister and as my father is dead and my mother has already gone through menopause it is no longer possible for me to acquire one
>>2373367It beats Civ7Humankindthe other one I forgot the name.
>>2383180millenia?
>>2373367Bump
>>2373367Best action-economy for turn-based I've encountered, which can be really fresh. But map generation isn't the best imo. Would be nice to see similar action-economy but in a more flexible setting.
>>2373374What sets Old World apart to me is that the AI is by far least retarded out of all current 4X games. It is like no other 4X game can figure out that you need to give units a lot of space and mobility to give AI a chance in 1-unit-per-tile warfare.
