About Old World™

Old World is a historical strategy game that spans multiple generations, tasking you with leading an empire and building a legacy meant to outlive any single ruler. This is an era of great leaders, revered and feared alike, and the game constantly asks which sort you intend to be as your dynasty carries on through the years.

Family is central to the design. You marry for political advantage, raise your heirs, and juggle relationships with the noble families of your realm. Each of the seven kingdoms has four such families that grant benefits when placed in charge of cities, and you'll manage their loyalty through events, actions, and marriages. Keep them content and you reap rewards, but upset them or let them grow too strong and you invite trouble.

Beyond bloodlines, the world teems with distinctive characters who each bring their own personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. You can recruit renowned warriors, philosophers, and builders to tutor your children, command your armies, and expand your influence, matching personality archetypes to roles like governor, diplomat, or spymaster. As characters develop new traits over time, this simulation strategy title on PC turns leadership into an evolving, character-driven saga.
