Won an epic victory in my first campaign game (Carthage) in #OldWorld on turn 98/100. Lucked out a bit in that my final goal was to adopt the Professional Army law, which required the Manor tech, which I drew in my first hand after the reshuffle.
I'm definitely liking the game. The family politics and character events add a lot to it, and I love being clever with the placement of various buildings. I didn't really feel challenged in this first campaign game, but figure it might've been going easy on me to not scare off new players. Will have to see how that develops.

#OldWorld feels a lot like Civ IV, with some added concepts on top of it. Turns out the studio is lead by the main designer of Civ IV: https://spillhistorie.no/2026/04/22/big-interview-with-the-people-behind-old-world/
Turns don't flow quite as smoothly (so far), and there are some rough edges: visualizing my available options for building improvements with a worker - outside of the "recommended" ones - is not intuitive, and some bonus wording is confusing (when I get a bonus for units "killed", does that means mine, my opponents', or all?).
All the same, I'm already having a bit of the same "just one more turn" feeling just working through the tutorial, so I have little doubt I'll spend many happy hours with this #game.

I started playing #OldWorld: https://www.gog.com/en/game/old_world
First impression: Ooh, they have an "explain concepts while playing an actual game" tutorial, that sounds a lot better than the tired step-by-step thing!
Second impression: Eep, what happened? I thought I clicked on the settler unit, but it seems to have built a city already? I didn't want to build it there, I wanted to look around a bit first to pick the ideal spot! => quits and moves to the regular tutorial.
Turns out you can only build cities in small specific regions - but do have some choice of where to place them exactly, and I hadn't actually placed it, but the UI showed something which seemed like a placed city. I guess I need the handholding of an oldfashioned tutorial in my games after all.
(Actual first impression was *crash*, likely due to blocking the game with the firewall but the OS reporting that internet is available, which is a combination quite a lot of #Unity #games have an issue with, so all the above after unplugging the ethernet cable and trying again.)

We got a new game announcement which will probably interest quite some civfanatics! Dale, co-developer of #OldWorld and long-time civ fan is now working on his own independent game, called #Imperialist . As you can guess from the context and title, this is a turn-based 4X game, set during the age of imperialism. You might now be thinking about "Colonization", but this game is not about creating a new state in the old world, but forging an empire which spans the the whole world. The graphics have retro flair though and are definitely aimed at long time civ fans, and for who remembers it also the "Imperialism" sries! Otherwise you will get more intricate supply chains and more advanced diplomacy with friends and foes, making this game a potential new candidate for the "one-more-turn" syndrome at the end of this year.
The game is scheduled for release in Q4 2026. You can find the Steam entry here https://store.steampowered.com/app/4351070/Imperialist/ and discuss it with us here https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/imperialist-exploit-the-new-world-to-control-the-old.703219/ .

I've been working on a new Old World army, with some Chaos Warriors. I've christened them The Cult of the Welcoming Death, and their sign is that of a carried skeleton. One of their champions even carries the skeleton of a Sigmarite Warrior priest. #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings #oldWorld

The team of Old World has given an interview to Norwegian website spillhistorie.no. In this interview the team talks about various decisions for Old World, like how they decided upon the setting, the introduction of the mortal leaders, and the challenges they had with publishing the game. They also talk more deeply about the order system and advantages of not having actions tied to units, and the relationship of Old World to Civ and Paradox games.

No matter where you live, when you live, or what means you have to build, no one builds exterior doors and windows below grade.
What they might do, however, is retrofit and repurpose existing buildings and rewrite the history of said buildings.

Just two days after releasing the Empires of the Indus expansion https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/empires-of-the-indus-available-now.702548/ , Mohawk Games has announced what they are working on next – a dinosaur-themed strategy game.
Sid Meier will be on loan to Mohawk to create the game that he described in 2022 as his “holy grail” game. Meanwhile, Soren Johnson will be spending the remainder of 2026 working with Firaxis on the design of future expansion packs, whose names have not yet been announced.
From Mohawk, technical director Alex Mantzaris said, “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Sid to help him realize his lifelong vision of creating a dinosaur strategy game.”
Meier himself commented that design discussions over the past year convinced him that a solution had been found to the challenges that he had noted about a dinosaur game in his 2020 book. He will remain an employee of Firaxis on loan to the smaller studio.
No release date had been announced for Sid Meier’s Older World.

Hay un nuevo DLC para Old World y yo ya no sé dónde esconderme.
Es de los juegos 4X más respetuosos con el tiempo de uno, con buenas rebajas y una frecuencia de lanzamiento de contenidos adicionales que ni aburre ni abruma. Decidieron lanzar todo desde el inicio en GOG y no cuentan con launcher propio ni estupideces similares. Es cuestión de iniciar el juego cuando se desee y disfrutarlo. Grim Dawn y este son oro. -
