Yeah, I'm still jazzed for this one, too.  However, I'll be heading to Wisconsin next Thursday, so it's going to be closer to two weeks before I can spend any time with it.  :waiting:

I'm late to this. Is Old World a spin on Crusader Kings.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

No it's basically Civ set in ancient Med. Only 300 years of time span. There is some leader play/control but nothing close to CK.

A pretty cool interview with Soren.  I always enjoy listening to him talk about games and game design.

Ditto. My Visa is like, "What? Again???".

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

Well, for what it's worth I bought it on Epic when it came out and purchased it again on Steam yesterday because I really, really dislike Epic....but love Old World. So that's my 2 cents.
