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.

Hello everyone,\n\nThe 2025 Steam Awards have begun! Nominations are open, and were hoping youll support Old World by nominating it in the Labor of Love category. \n\nIf youve been keeping up with our development updates, you know that weve released 52 updates in the last year, including 10 major updates and 42 more minor updates. \n\nThe Wrath of Gods DLC introduced natural disasters, the new Aksum nation & dynasties, and a new replayable survival scenario. Some highlights from our free updates include a rework of Grand Viziers from the Behind the Throne DLC based on player feedback, a new system for National Ambitions with a greater variety of ambitions to choose from, a rebalance of premade maps with a major expansion of the Old World map, and the addition of support for multiple victories and succession games . We have also been hard at work making the already well-respected AI even better, optimizing system performance, improving the UI, and tweaking the game balance in many smaller ways.\n\nOngoing development for Old World has been a labor of love for us, and were always excited to see what our players think of each update. \n\nMost importantly, we want to thank you all for your support throughout the last year of Old Worlds development. Its been an honor to watch this community grow and to incorporate your feedback into creating the best game possible.\n\nIf you want to show Old World some extra love during the Steam Awards, please click the Nominate button thats part of this post and nominate us for the 2025 Labor of Love award. \n\nThank you again for supporting Old World!\n\n The Mohawk Games Team
