About Old World

About this game

Experience some historical strategy with Old World from Mohawk Games.

The Ancient Era Beckons

Venture back in time with Old World, a historical strategy game where you don't just rule an empire — you shape its history. Step into the shoes of mighty leaders, steering your kingdom through generations in a grand quest for legacy. Old World is not just a game; it's a testament to the resilience and grandeur of the ancient era. Will you be a benevolent ruler or a feared dictator? The choice is yours as each decision has the potential to etch your name in the annals of your empire.

Intriguing Family Affairs

Yet, even a king is nothing without his family. In Old World, family truly matters as you maneuver the unpredictable political landscape of seven kingdoms, each with four noble families to charm, manage and negotiate with. Strategically manage your family ties through events, actions, and marriages to reap benefits, or face the backlash of their wrath if upset. Whether you maintain a robust family unit or delve into forbidden liaisons, remember — your actions will reverberate through time.

Unearth History to Shape the Future: A Living, Breathing World

Step out of your palace into a vast, mysterious land waiting to be discovered. From ruins that house artefacts to exploring uncontacted tribes and squaring off with barbarian marauders, Old World is replete with 3,000 unique events inspired by history and mythology. Plate your legacy in gold by leading Carthage to victory as Hannibal in the Punic Wars or defend your empire against Barbarian Hordes. With Old World, every game is a new journey through history.

Leaving Traditions Behind: A Fresh Take on 4X Strategy

Are you ready to challenge conventional wisdom? Old World breaks away from the traditional elements of the 4X strategy genre to deliver a novel approach. Buildings are made from wood and stone, not just "industry", while the population grows with more than just "food". Embrace the freshness of unpredictable technological advancement and quality-of-life improvements like undoing mistaken commands and making informed decisions with nested tooltips. Engage in countless multiplayer modes with friends or try your hand at modding for infinite options and new worlds inspired by reality and fiction. Welcome to a whole new world of strategy gaming: welcome to the 'Old World'.
