I love announcement day. After months, sometimes years, of anticipation, developers can finally talk about a new project. Yesterday was announcement day for Old World (previously known as 10 Crowns), a game that collects so many of my favorite disparate features into a single, absorbing experience. It feels comfortable but fresh, and it leans heavily into history’s wilder narratives, which, oddly enough, feel surprisingly untapped by many current RTS and 4X strategy titles.
