Old World December 11th Updated Test Build

Test Branch 1.0.75342 Test 2024-12-11

Design

Grand Vizier now acts as a governor in cities without a governor and controls production only in those cities. Removed all other Grand Vizier yields
Changes to diplomatic Declare War missions:
Ask to Declare War mission now requires a Leader with the Schemer archetype. Removed mission tech requirement and lowered opinion needed to Cautious
Ask to Join War mission added, where you must already be at war with the target. This requires Pleased opinion
With Ruthless AI enabled, war requests will be denied if the player is close to victory
The Random Improvements option now allows any combination of shrine effects instead of picking a set from a random nation
Removed family preferences from crowning ambitions. Most crowning ambition events now allow three choices of ambition instead of two. Along with some bug fixes this should give a much higher variety of crowning ambitions offered
Launch Offensive can now be used from a unit with a rout cooldown and it removes rout cooldowns from adjacent units

Programming

AI builds fewer duplicate roads
Improved AI retreat vs attack decision making
Disabled implicit subject conversion for DiplomacySubjects bonuses
Hall of Fame games now store the active player so that when you load them the player stays the same

UI

Added minimize toggle to player goals/ambitions display
Inverted red/green warning text in some cases for negative yields
User assigned hotkeys now have more flexibility. Assignments can use previously reserved keys and conflict with non-assignable hotkeys

Fixed bug allowing ambitions to appear in events with random ambition selections that should only appear in specific events
Fixed cycle button position not updating shortcut keys and not getting saved

Old World is a historical strategy game where you lead your empire through multiple generations, building a grand legacy to last beyond your own years. This is an era of great leaders, from the revered to the feared. Which will you be?

Marry for politics, raise your heirs, and manage your relationship with the families of your kingdom. In the fast and furious world of kings and queens, family matters.

Each of the 7 kingdoms has four noble families that provide various benefits when put in charge of your cities.
Manage family ties through events, actions, and marriages to keep them happy and reap additional benefits. Upset them, or make them too powerful, and you risk their ire.
Maintain a strong family unit, or distract yourself with more illicit adventures.

The world is full of great characters with distinct personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Use them to forge your kingdom, defend your borders, and build ties with other leaders.

Seek out and recruit famed warriors, philosophers, builders, and more. Have them tutor your children, lead your armies, and further your reign.
Different personality archetypes allow your court members to perform different tasks in similar roles. Find the right combinations to take full advantage of governors, diplomats, spymasters, and even your spouse.
Characters develop new personalities and traits over time, growing old, gaining experience, and finally falling ill and passing away, leaving room for the next generation.

Unsettled tribes, barbarian marauders, and remnants of previous cultures are all waiting in the vast unexplored wilderness.

Discover artifacts and great heroes of the past at ruins scattered across the map.
Experience over 3,000 unique events inspired by history and mythology.
Contact with foreign dignitaries triggers event chains, stories, and courtroom drama.
Pursue ambitions and legacies related to conquest, development, faith, and more.
Historically inspired scenarios, weekly challenge games, and a choice between randomly generated and handcrafted maps to explore. Lead Carthage to victory as Hannibal in the Punic Wars, hold your own against Barbarian Hordes, or compete against other players in tackling fictional scenarios.

Why do things the way they've always been done? Old World brings a new take to key elements of the 4X strategy genre:

Go beyond the traditional resources. Buildings are made of wood and stone, not "industry." Population doesn't grow off "food" alone.
Orders are a resource shared across your realm. Instead of moving every unit once per turn, each unit can be moved multiple times until fatigued or Orders are depleted.
Technological advancement is not predetermined. Randomization helps keep technology trees feeling fresh with each new playthrough.
Quality of life improvements, such as the ability to undo mistaken commands and nested tooltips, ensure you're always making informed decisions.
Play with friends in countless multiplayer modes — from hotseat, to asynchronous, to cloud play.
Mods further open up infinite options for new worlds, empires, and dynasties — inspired by our real world, and by works of fiction as well.
