Kami-sama:

In Old World you will explore the map with Scouts, expand your Nation by founding Cities on City Sites, exploit Harvestable Resources and Luxuries, and recruit armies to exterminate rival Nations and Tribes (or negotiate and trade with them). When starting a new game the map is yet unexplored, awaiting discovery.

Below is a list of helpful hints. Note that the hotkey hints may not be accurate if the control settings have been changed.
* Units on terrain with Trees get a defensive bonus against Ranged Attacks.
* Units of Flat and Clear terrain are vulnerable to attacks from Mounted Units.
* Melee Infantry can fortify, gaining a defensive bonus while they remain on their current tile.
* Land Units can more quickly across water that your Cities and Anchored Boats control.
* Hold [B] to see your Trade Network and Connections to the Capital.
* Training stockpiles are capped at 2000. Above this value, they will be converted to Orders.
* Civics stockpiles are capped at 2000. Above this value, they will be converted to Science.
* You can only use 3 of your Nation's 4 families each game. Experiment to find out which combinations work best!
* Unused Civics and Training in your Cities are added to your Nation's stockpile.
* If you don't want to use all of your Orders, you can end your turn premarurely.
* Your Workers can chop Wood from nearby Trees. The trees will regrow in several years if they aren't completely removed.
* If you don't have enough resources to start a Unit or Improvement you can buy what you're missing (assuming you have enough Money).
* Building an improvement on a Hill will increase the time it takes to finish by one turn.
* Barbarians are xenophobic tribes hostile to all Nations. There are no diplomatic consequences for attacking their Unity or taking over their land. They have no allies, including other Tribes.
* If your territory has scant supplies of Wood, consider training military units that rely on Stone or Iron. Concentrate your limited Wood supply on building Rural time Improvements.
* Quarries build next to Mountains produce more Stone for each adjacent mountain tile. Quarries gain a minor increase when they are built in Arid terrain.
* Lumbermills build adjacent to Camps gain increased Wood output, as the hunters control predators and force trails through the forest.
* Being at War against several opponents can leave your armies overwhelmed, unable to execute enough Orders to fight effectively on every front. Use diplomacy to avoid this fate.
* Researching your way to the Lumbermill Improvement takes time. You may need to send Workers to forests and thickets outside your borders, to Chop Wood from Trees and Scrub.
* Expect demand for Food to rise as your Cities grow and mature.
* Upgrading Units to more advanced technology is materially expensive, but it can rapidly increase your military might.
* Roads help Units move farther with each Orders spent, especially when the Road passes through difficult terrain. They also extend your Trade Network.
* Ranged Units gain an extra tile of range if positioned on Hill, unless their target is also on a Hill.
* Stationing a Unit on a conquered City Site marks the territory as yours. Failing to guard the site may result in it being claimed by a new Tribal Settlement or settled by your rivals.
* Growing your number of Orders should be a priority. The more territory and Units that you control, the more Orders your Nation will need to function and to defend itself.
* The power of each Law tends to increase as your Nation grows. When choosing what to research, do not neglect unlocking new Laws.
* A City may build ships if it controls water tiles labeled as Coast.
* Scouts can keep an eye on a large number of tiles. They can provide valuable intelligence regarding enemy strength and movements.
* Cities with high Growth train new Settlers, Workers, and Scouts more rapidly.
* The rate at which military Units are produced by a City is tied directly to its Training output.
* The rate at which Projects are completed at a City depends on its Civics output.
* Urban Specialists can be upgraded multiple times, greatly increasing the output of an Urban Improvement.
* Most Urban Improvement types require Stone to construct. Expect high demand for Stone as the game matures and you unlock new technologies.
* Ranged Units are efficient in battle, often attacking an enemy without having to spend Orders on movement.
* To predict the number of orders needed for a Unit to go from one tile to another by way of a third tile, select the Unit and [CTRL+Click] on the third tile.
* Militia and Conscript Units cannot be Promoted, but they are produced with Growth instead of Training. Cities with high Growth output may be able to train them rapidly.
* Many Mounted Units have the Rout ability. When they slay an enemy Unit, they occupy that Unit's tile if there is another Unit available to attack from the newly occupied tile. Although they cannot move again, routing units can chain together multiple rout attacks.
* Consider spending Training to give Promotions to some of your Units. Units who have engaged in combat and earned Experience cost less Training to promote.
* Tribes are not Nations. When at War with you, only their Units near your Units or territory pose a threat, unless you anger them enough for them to launch a Tribal Invasion.
* Coastal Cities control less land than inland Cities, but they tend to be less vulnerable to attack.
* Colder air forces clouds to drop their rain as they gain altitude to move over mountains. Most mountains have a lush band, where the rain falls, and a rain shadow on the opposite side, depending on regional wind patterns.
* Consider dealing with Events early in your turn. Some Event options require you to spend Orders.
* A Tribal Alliance allows you to found Cities peacefully next to your Ally's Settlements.
* Damaged Workers take an extra turn to build Improvements.
* [CTRL+Click] to Force March a Unit to move past its Fatigue range.
* If your Leader is not able to complete an Ambition before death, it becomes a Legacy. Legacies count towards an Ambition Victory but are worth less Legitimacy.
* Tribal Strength, chosen under Advanced Setup, affects the number of empty City Sites near your Capital.
* Non-coastal Urban Improvements must be adjacent to the City tile or to two other Urban Improvements.
* Urban Improvements on the coast need only be adjacent to one other Urban Improvement on the same coast or the City tile.
* With a Worker selected, hold [CTRL] and move the cursor over a tile to see what Improvements can be built there.
* Scouts are Hidden while on a Trees tile in neutral or friendly territory.
* Hold [SHIFT] or [MIDDLE-CLICK] to Freeze Tooltips.
* With a unit selected, hover the mouse cursor over enemy Units to preview combat damage. Hold [ALT] to preview even for non-enemy Units.
* Hold down [SHIFT] when moving a Unit to assign a multi-turn destination. The Unit will move (to the edge of its Fatigue range) towards that tile each turn.
* Pressing [ESC] will close the topmost tooltip or window.
* Family Classes determine what effects a Family has on its Cities, as well as what Laws, Luxuries, and other conditions keep them happy.
* Scouts, Settlers, and Workers can Harvest Resources for a quick supply of Goods.
* A Forced March permits a Unit to continue moving on the current turn when Fatigued, at the cost of 100 Training and twice as many Orders per additional Move.
* A Fatigued Unit can only Move again on the current turn through a Forced March.
* Flank an enemy Unit by attacking it while another friendly Unit is on the opposite side.
* Governors can be appointed in Cities with a Garrison. Their stats apply a multiplier to the City Yields and their traits can add other bonuses.
* Shrines provide various benefits and can help to spread Paganism.
*Legitimacy is obtained by achieving Ambitions and acquiring better Cognomen (such as the Great). Higher Legitimacy improves Family Opinions and produces more Orders per turn.
* Tribal Mercenary Units can be hired from Tribes by Carthage and by Nations with Orator Leaders.
* A Disciple can spread your State Religion to other Cities. With the Orthodoxy law, they can also purge other Religions from your Cities.
* Establishing a Theology grants additional bonuses to a World Religion. Theologies are established using Disciples.
* A Hamlet and its upgrades, Village and Town, produce extra Money if brought into your Trade Network.
* The Trade Network consists of all tiles connected to your Capital City.
* Cities and their Urban tiles can be connected with one another over Roads, Rivers, or open water.
* To find how many movement steps a Unit requires to go from one tile to another, select the Unit and hover over the destination tile with the mouse.
* Urban Improvements require extra Stone when built on Hill.
* Workers take an extra turn to build Improvements outside their Family's territory.
* Your Nation can build its unique Units in Cities with Developing Culture and a Stronghold.
* Beware of the map edges. Raiders could be lurking beyond!
* Any given Character can have a maximum of three good traits like Vigilant, and three bad traits like Greedy.
* Character's Attributes like Courage, Discipline, Charisma, and Wisdom can be changed by events and affect a Character's abilities as a Leader, Governor, or General.
* Keep your Family Heads happy! Influence them directly, or have other important Characters Intercede on your behalf.
* Angry Families can rebel against your rule, spawning Rebel Units around their Cities. Your Units from that Family are not as effective when fighting against their own Rebels.
* Family Opinion is directly influenced by Family and Religion Head Characters.
* It may become difficult to keep all Families happy if they follow different Religions.
* You can improve your relations with Leaders of other Nations by conducting Trade Missions with them.
* Scouts can establish Agent Networks in Foreign Cities. Subsequently, you can assign Characters as Agents to gain visibility of the City and its territory. Agents can also perform Treachery or Insurrection Missions on their Cities.
* Don't forget to assign Councilors. They perform essential Missions for your Nation, and they raise their Family's Opinion of you.
* You need an Ambassador to conduct diplomacy with other Nations and Tribes. Ambassadors can also perform the Trade Missions and High Synod Missions.

== Succession ==
Once a Nation Leader dies, its Heir becomes the new Nation Leader. If the Nation doesn't have a heir when the Nation Leader dies the game ends. Which child becomes Heir depends on the Succession Law. The Heir can also be chosen manually via a character action, but this carries a penalty of [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] 10 Legitimacy. There are 5 possible Succession Laws, with the starting one being decided in the new game settings. Changing Succession Law initially costs 100 [[File:YIELD CIVICS.png|25px]] Civics, and the cost increases by 50 for each subsequent change.

==Families ==
Families are the leading clans within a Nation that control its cities, with different dispositions and conflicting interests. Their preferences determine what Ambitions a Nation Leader can pursue. The Opinion that a family has towards its Nation's Leader can trigger various events. Each Nation has 4 Families, which may belong to one of 10 classes. The first City founded for a Family will be the Family Seat. Only 3 Families may be used by each Nation.

Each Family will have two preferred luxury resources. Each one of their cities that doesn't have the luxury resource will decrease the Family's Opinion by 10. In addition, if a Family has fewer cities than the other Families it will suffer an Opinion penalty.

== Tribes ==
[[File:Tribe site.png|thumb|300px|A Gaul tribe occupying a city site]]
Tribes occupy certain City Sites at the start of the game. Tribes that aren't allied with any Nation will eventually spawn a raiders army. Raiders are always at War with all Nations and will attack the nearest City. How far raiders are willing to travel depends on the game difficulty.

Carthage and Nation Leaders with the [[File:TRAIT ORATOR.png|25px]] Orator archetype can hire Tribe units as mercenaries. The price depends on the unit's [[File:Icon AttackDefense.png]] Strength, the Opinion of the Tribe and the number of mercenaries recruited so far.

There are 7 Tribes present in Old World:

== Laws ==
[[File:Laws screen.png|thumb|300px|The Laws tab]]
Laws provide a permanent bonus to a Nation. They come in two mutually-exclusive groups and five levels of penalties. The Laws button will glow when there is a group without any active law and enough [[File:YIELD CIVICS.png|25px]] Civics to pass it.

=== No Upkeep Laws ===
No Upkeep Laws cost 250 [[File:YIELD CIVICS.png|25px]] Civics to pass and have no yearly costs.

== Succession ==
Once a Nation Leader dies, its Heir becomes the new Nation Leader. If the Nation doesn't have a heir when the Nation Leader dies the game ends. Which child becomes Heir depends on the Succession Law. The Heir can also be chosen manually via a character action, but this carries a penalty of [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] 10 Legitimacy. There are 5 possible Succession Laws, with the starting one being decided in the new game settings. Changing Succession Law initially costs 100 [[File:YIELD CIVICS.png|25px]] Civics, and the cost increases by 50 for each subsequent change.

==Families ==
Families are the leading clans within a Nation that control its cities, with different dispositions and conflicting interests. Their preferences determine what Ambitions a Nation Leader can pursue. The Opinion that a family has towards its Nation's Leader can trigger various events. Each Nation has 4 Families, which may belong to one of 10 classes. The first City founded for a Family will be the Family Seat. Only 3 Families may be used by each Nation.

Each Family will have two preferred luxury resources. Each one of their cities that doesn't have the luxury resource will decrease the Family's Opinion by 10. In addition, if a Family has fewer cities than the other Families it will suffer an Opinion penalty.

== Tribes ==
[[File:Tribe site.png|thumb|300px|A Gaul tribe occupying a city site]]
Tribes occupy certain City Sites at the start of the game. Tribes that aren't allied with any Nation will eventually spawn a raiders army. Raiders are always at War with all Nations and will attack the nearest City. How far raiders are willing to travel depends on the game difficulty.

Carthage and Nation Leaders with the [[File:TRAIT ORATOR.png|25px]] Orator archetype can hire Tribe units as mercenaries. The price depends on the unit's [[File:Icon AttackDefense.png]] Strength, the Opinion of the Tribe and the number of mercenaries recruited so far.

There are 7 Tribes present in Old World:

Once a unit has spent [[File:YIELD ORDERS.png|25px]] 3 Orders moving, it will become Fatigued. A Fatigued unit can still be moved but it will cost 100 [[File:YIELD TRAINING.png|25px]] Training and each movement will require twice as many [[File:YIELD ORDERS.png|25px]] Orders.

Certain units produce a ZOC, or Zone-Of-Control, in an area around them. ZOC prevent enemy units from moving.

== Generals ==
Generals are characters assigned to units to grant them extra abilities. The character must be from the same Family as the unit, with the exception of the nation's Leader. Adding or replacing a General costs 100 [[File:YIELD TRAINING.png|25px]] Training and consumes the unit's remaining Movement points. Characters must be younger than 50 to be assigned as Generals and will retire at the age of 60. If the unit is attacked the General has a 1% chance of being injured.

== Unit stats ==
Units have the following stats to keep track of:
* '''HP:''' All units start with 20 HP, or Hit Points. If a unit runs out of HP, it will be destroyed. A unit will regain 1 HP each turn it is within the borders of its Nation and can also be given 5 HP at the cost of 1 [[File:YIELD ORDERS.png|25px]] Orders and the unit's remaining Movement points.
* '''Strength:''' How much damage the unit will deal.
* '''Movement:''' How many hexes the unit can move for each [[File:YIELD ORDERS.png|25px]] Order. Hills, Sand, crossing a River, Scrub and Trees all add an extra movement point. Rivers and Roads within owned territory require only 2/3 of a movement point.
* '''Vision:''' How many tiles around the unit are the tiles visible. Only applies to already discovered tiles.
* '''Range:''' Only appears on Ranged units, it determines from how many hexes away from the target can the unit attack.

== Unit level ==
Each time a unit fights it will gain 10 XP. Once it gains enough XP (100 x level) it will level up. Alternatively [[File:YIELD TRAINING.png|25px]] Training can be used to fill the missing XP and level up. Each unit can only level up once per year, up to a maximum of 5 levels. Each time a unit levels up it will be able to pick between 4 permanent random bonuses:

== Melee infantry units ==
Melee infantry units are the earliest type of military units available. Most melee infantry can use the [[File:UNIT ACTION FORTIFY.png|25px]] Fortify action, which grants +5% Defense per turn, up to a maximum of +25% after 5 turns. Each time it gets attacked by an adjacent unit it loses 5% of the gained Defense. Melee units have the following characteristics:
* Can only attack adjacent units.
* When attacked by adjacent units they deal 1 HP damage to the attacking unit.
* Has ZOC.
* '''+25%''' [[File:Icon Defense.png]] Defense from Urban.
* '''-50%''' [[File:Icon Attack.png]] Attack Across River.
Melee infantry have two upgrade paths: one that focuses on fighting other melee infantry and one that grants them a Polearm. Polearm units are immune to Rout and their ZOC cannot be ignored by mounted units.
