Thoughts on Old World? (store.steampowered.com)

Have been enjoying time with this approachable 4x. Dlc was released earlier this month, so devs still supporting.

With civ 7 being $70 for an unfinished product (per usual) figured scratch the itch someone else.

No expert or anything, but have found the order system to be particulary interesting from other 4x have played. It ties movement and actions of all empire units to one resource which is gained from many different areas.

Anyone here played it? If so thoughts?

I was addicted to this game for awhile. I really like the events that come up, and they can chain into interesting situations. Thumbs up from me. The family aspect of it brings more history into the campaign than just picking Abraham Lincoln when you're a caveman and he's magically stil your leader when tossing nucks around.

Also the lead dev was one of the main guys for Civ 3 and 4, if I remember correctly.

Edit. Check out Endless Legend. It has a pretty cool combat system too. It's a little like a jrpg in that when a battle starts it focuses on where you are and you duke it out in that area.
