Old world thread

Has anyone played this game?
I'm on my first campaign after finishing the tutorial, but even though I like the concept it just feels like there is too much micro of all the units you end up having.

Having worker units build shit instead of doing it via the city menu feels weird

    Oh look, another shilling thread, totally just to discuss the viable game mechanics and not to just keep the game name in the catalog and thus salvage the horrible sales.

      ESLs don’t know what “shill” means

      They made alexander gay and I lost the motivation to play it.

      Low IQ ESLs obsessed with homosexuals because they can’t stop getting raped by their own dads

        Both are being shilled the exact same way, and both are financial disasters. There is no actual discussion about either of them, because there is barely anything to discuss until the bugs are fixed, which doesn't seem to happen, while over a year have passed since premiere of both.
        In other words - same shit, different title.
        >b-but X is better than Y
        Yeah, I guess a steaming turd is better than diarrhea. Doesn't change the fact both are shit.

          Old World had genuine discussion for some time but it died out quickly because the game is mediocre at best. OP may be not a shill, just somebody who wants to talk about the game that everybody else forgot about already.

              Off the top of my head: Civ4, AoW3, GalCiv2.

                I really liked it but dropped it before even finishing the first campaign cause of rage quitting. it felt like you already needed to know the map to beat the missions

                Campaign sucks. Get the balance mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466) and play scenarios/random maps.

                ... or just play AoW2 instead, but I guess zoomers are naturally adverse toward games older than they are

                It's not really about the campaigns, man. I have 450 hours in AoW3 and I barely touched the campaign at all. I mean, play it if you want to but it's clearly not the focus of the game.

          There's nothing pozzed about accurately depicting the sexuality of known historical individuals.

          Yeah Soren let his wife run his game company. Fired the people that got into conflict with her. Replaced them with diversity.

          If you wonder why the kids look so strange, it's because they let players upload pics of their kids and they were drawn into the game.

          It's a shame, because besides the late game memory leaks and slowdown, there are some very interesting game mechanics here.

        He wasn't "gay", the Greeks practiced pederasty and everyone was sexually abused. If that's what you want to put on a pedestal, then frick you.

          kind of funny because that's what the devs did with philip's ruler bio (not alexander, he's just philip's son in the game). it mentions "oh he may have had an older male lover", glossing over the fact that he was 14 years old when it happened and being held as a hostage

      Check what families you picked. Most civs have at least one family that hates mixing with barbarians.

    It's a good game. I put in 80 hours then shelved it until they add more to it. Same as other 4x games, the most fun part is the first third, then it turns into a slog.

    It seems like every new strategy game needs some moronic, autistic mechanic thrown in there to make it "special", regardless of whether or not the mechanic is a good idea.

    Civ 6 - moronic autistic district system that is boring and the AI can't use

    Old World - moronic, autistic 'orders' system.

    Why the frick did he need an orders system? "hurr durr, every game allows each unit to move every turn but I didn't want to do that, so I'm going to add this absolutely fricking moronic mechanic to make my game special and different"

    No. Nope. Not touching it.

        Not filtered, Black person, it's called you're a Black person salesman selling a Black person product and I don't fricking want it.

        "HEY GUIZ I GOTTA GRETT IDEEER FOR A GAME!!!! MY GAME IS GONNA HAVE AN ORDERS SYSTEM!!! WOWEEEZ"

        It's the central point of the game and it's what he thought would make the game interesting. It sounds like an absolute fricking moronic, gay, Black personish idea. It's the dumbest fricking idea I've heard in a long time.

    I really enjoy this game, love the take on resources and production, makes the board a lot more interesting.

    LOVE that scouts work as harvesters now, once Im done exploring immediate surroundings I can focus on pumping up numbers instead of exploring some who-gives-a-frick part of the map.

    Also My advice for your first game, Don't try to appease everybody and play peaceful, care about your characters story, piss people off, tell the tribes to screw. And nebechanezzar can lick your gooch as tribute.

    I applaud the attempt at a 4X that doesn't feel as boardgamey but it still felt a bit thin. Also my PC shit and the performance sucks for me.

    Started a new game because of this thread.
    Still feel like a moron playing this game, there's a lot of mechanics to manage
    I think I'm doing pretty well, except I didn't invest in much of a military until now and I'm probably about to get munched on by Hatti.
    This is the first i've had multiple wives, is that a new feature?
    Either way 4 wives and only 3 kids is pcap
