Old World 50% off (until October 10)

[The_J]

As the title says, the main game, as well as addons are 50% off. Main game for 19.99, the whole bundle for 47.19.
This currently seems to be only the case in the Steam store, https://store.steampowered.com/app/597180/Old_World , and not on Epic or GOG ( @Solver ?)

Correct, that's part of the Hooded Horse Steam sale, so it's only on Steam!

Went back to playing this after seeing Ara wasn't going to be my cup of tea. This is an extremely solid game, strong AI, great balanced mechanics. Take advantage of the 50% off.

Awesome! I'd been waiting for a Steam sale to switch from GOG. Surprisingly Steam picked up all my GOG achievements. And now I'm fully up-to-date on expansions.

Rolled Alexander the Great of Greece for my first new game, and what do you know, he died at the age of 32. Score one for historical accuracy, zero for my ability to manage palace intrigues successfully.

Looks like it's on sale on GoG now too but 30% off for main game and 10-20% for addons.

Surprisingly Steam picked up all my GOG achievements.

As @Dale once explained to me, they are stored in an XML file that you could edit anytime.

As @Dale once explained to me, they are stored in an XML file that you could edit anytime.

It looks like that is GameOptionsSave.xml . Interestingly, deleting my achievements from there solves the "GOG version spams previous achievements" problem, which was my motivating factor to migrate to Steam.

I wish it was that easy, yes it will fix the problem for a bit until you unlock those same achievements again via gameplay, then the problem comes back. It only affects certain specific achievements and is a very weird issue, one we can probably get fixed eventually with GOG's help but it's not been a quick fix.

This is all so confusing... Steam or GOG, 9.99 base game only and one single DLC costs more than the base game...
can anyone tell if the free updates added some basics civs to the base game since it came out or everything (Scenarios)
has been locked behind DLCs??? Two years it should have a plethora of Scenarios, both official and from modders but...

The Steam workshop has just one entry under Scenarios... Different Leaders ( 3 new nations)
More diversity (?!??!) and surprising events/outcomes... which... I'm not totally sure it is a proper scenario???
Just a makeup-over of existing ones???

It's a tuff one... too many DLCs just adds to the intricacy of the choice... no Season pass is also not very nice to not have anymore...
Idk If I have to thank Steam for its Season Pass policy or something else....
