► Description
Description:
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.

I thought my upload speed was shit...now I feel better! 
Good upload speed is just not available, and the upgrades I actually could get are way too expensive.
