Mohawk Games, the developers of Old World, have released the latest update for their game. This update allows the player to set the amount of city sites per map, provides more modding features and Ai improvements.
Discuss this update with us here (and read the full list of changes too).
Old World is currently available in the Epic Store, on GOG and Steam.
And with the Civ5 GOTM we’re leaving the summery tracks, and are now moving the the lowlands. This time you play as William of the Netherlands, on a standard size continents map. You need to win with a science victory, and prevent all other civs from achieving another victory. You have until October 1 to grow the best tulips.
For all information please see this thread.
Soren Johnson, the lead designer of Civ4 and of OldWorld, just published a video, which was used to pitch Old World (at the time named 10 Crowns) in 2017.
Looks very different from today, have a look!
You can find the original source here, and discuss this video with us here.
The new Civ6 “Game Of The Month” is a total chaos! You play as Sejong of Korea on a unknown map of standard size on Prince level. You need to win via a science victory, but disaster intensity is set to 4 and all game mods are on (besides Zombies). We wish you all luck, may the best civ-fanatic survive!
The deadline for game submission is October 1, and all other details you can find here.
A part of the current Steam strategy fest is the indie game “Theocracy”. Theocracy is an old-school turnbased 4X game, heavily inspired by Civ1 and 2, but with a focus on religion and mysticism. So besides expanding your empire, you also need to spread your religion and convert pagans.
The game is currently on sale for 4.89€ instead of 6.99 until September 4. The developer is also a fellow civ-fanatic, and will answer any questions in the thread dedicated to the Theocracy here.
And we continue a warm theme also for the last month of summer: For this Civ4 “Game Of The Month” you play as Hatshepsut of Egypt on a tropical pangaea map on Deity level. You have until October 9 to spread the knowledge of the sungods everywhere.
For more information please see this thread.
King’s Bounty: The Legend is currently freely available on GOG.com.
This is a temporary deal, and valid until Monday September 4. The game will stay in your library afterwards though.
King’s Bounty is a game series, which has a similar style to Heroes Of Might and Magic: You are a hero, travelling through a fantasy landscape with an army, to fulfil quests. The battles are happening on a separate strategy map, which is influenced by the current surrounding, and is performed on a hex field in a turn-based manner. The main difference between HoMM and King’s Bounty is that King’s Bounty is more of a role-playing game, since you don’t conquer cities and have only one hero. This makes the game a bit more streamlined, but also in some way less strategic. No matter your preference, it’s a nice turnbased game, which you should definitely get, especially if it’s for free.
