A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Got into Old World. I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff. Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.
I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.
Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.
I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn't figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.
Anyway, if you've played Civilization, you'll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren't growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!
I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.
