Old World Quick Questions and answers (and FAQ)

it seems the entire territory of Babylonia is already revealed to you ? reveal territory (same with the spymaster infiltrate mission) only shows a snaphshot of the country terrain, resources and improvements, it doesn't provide you live coverage with unit positioning etc

 

[PiR]

The land is revealed, but you don't get permanent visibility (not even temporary visibility).

 

[cairnsy44]

That is why one would have an agent imbedded in a city.

 

[user330977]

That would explain it! I was under the impression the land and units on it became temporarily visible.

Kind regards,

I was wondering how this could be possible.

Killing a unit:

would trigger this:

OK after a while I saw that even and I understood but before seeing the event I scratched my head for a while

 

[jguy100]

@PiR do you have the law active that gives culture upon killing enemy units?

 

[Solver]

Yep, definitely Epics. You can even see the +10 culture floating text in the second screenshot.

 

[PiR]

Yep, that's the whole reason. Leveled up the culture of the city, created an event, that event made her adopt a religion.

 

[PiR]

It seems crossing a river prevents Rout. Is it official?

 

[topsecret]

Is there some advantages or drawbacks to allowing the court to choose laws? I haven't yet chosen that option and wondering what the ramifications are

 

[user330977]

Hello topsecret

Are you referring to the popup that appears when you have reached enough civics in order to adopt a law? If so, the "let the court decide" option just opens up the laws screen. The decision is never taken out of your hands.

Kind regards,
Ita Bear

 

[PiR]

Yeah that's my experience as well, it just opens the panel.

 

[topsecret]

Yes that's what I meant. Thank you

Hello folks,

I'm curious about the soundtrack in the game. Does anyone know which languages the performers are singing in? Were these songs made specifically for the game?

Kind regards,
Ita Bear

 

[Solver]

There's a music player in the top bar. Click it to show what song is currently playing, and you can look then look more info up.

The majority of the music is licensed but there are original tracks by Christopher Tin as well. Quite a variety of languages in the music, too, off the top of my head there's Aramaic, Arabic, Greek, Latin, Bulgarian, and I'm probably forgetting some.

English?

 

[Solver]

That's a language?

 

[user330977]

Thank you @Solver. I found the music player earlier and enjoy clicking through it. I'm very interested in languages so the mix adds a great deal to the atmosphere of the game.

Kind regards,
Ita Bear

if we haven't founded a home city for a 2nd and 3rd family, are we able to assign a conquered city to either of those families?

 

[jguy100]

I'm 90% sure you can found a family seat in a conquered city, pretty sure I've done it before.
