I didnt watch it yet. But I read the title "Post Mortem" Does that mean that he considers Old World finished, and move on to his next game ? Or maybe it is just the title that the youtuber for that site choose.

One reason why you shouldnt build many buildings is because it is easy to not have a gameplan and only build buildings and press end of turn. You have to realise that because of the bonuses the ai gets it will only get stronger if you sit on your but and build buildings and press end of turn. So...

Fun idea to play same map and compare strategies. Also great writing @Solver I have completed the game so spoilers for my whole game:

.

I think the reason is that Old World is doing combat differently than what players are used to. In most 4X games you use your units to defend your cities and you keep the units in the front. But if you do that in Old World all your units will die first turn when the AI attacks and then they quit...

I use to have tech trading on, I think that was how the designers wanted the game to be played. And yes the first thing I do EVERY turn is to press F4 and see what trades there are.

Yeah, tribals are strong on high dififculties

I like that most resources can be exchanged. With laws you can exchange most resources. So it doesnt make sense to discuss money alone. You need to discuss if moneys exchangerate for goods/resources/services is good. I think it is in a good spot now. If you have too much resources you should...

Take civ 4 as an example. If you watch a lets play of an experienced player, the first thing they do every turn is to check what they can trade and will probably make some deal every turn.

You are missing that you can assign specialists to them. The science from urban specialists is worth alot, especially with freedom.

I like that you cant trade them with other civs. Brokering deals with ai every turn are probably the most boring thing in civ.

Actually how you plan you defense is more important in Old World than other 4x. If you have not planned with fortified units on forts and cities, then when the opponent attacks they will wipe out alot of your army. Other 4x are more forgiving with positioning. It is a deliberate design choice to...

You will learn to handle the barbarians soon. My tips is to attack them with some units. Generals and promotions are very important in old world because of orders. So spend time to equip generals and spend your training on promotions and then upgrade the units.

Fluffy made a video were he discussed the laws he think is best. Watch that it differs abit from your opinion. I think vassalage is better than centralization. Serfdom is better than colonies. So there are two laws were we think the opposite. That shows laws are fairly balanced right now...

You can play the premade Old World Map, it is larger, giving you easily 6-15 cities. If you clear a camp, definatly camp it until you get a settler there. You can also abuse the AI and try to get the last hit on a camp they are clearing

My favorite civ is Israel/ Judah. I read the bible and it has very good stories. Cool to see that all the other civs in old world interacts and conquer Jerusalem at different time period but the jewish civilization remains even if they are slaves in Egypt or Babylon or Persia.. They always come...

Would be nice if ai had different settings. You could have peaceful ai like it is now. And if you wanted you could have an ai more focused on military. Even on diety watching lets plays and playing myself ai often has almost zero units. Which is a big difference from other civ and 4x games were...

Main problem is that ai doesnt build enough units

Most buildings are built by a worker like in civ 6 and take up a tile with a 3D model.
