Description

Old World - Wonders and Dynasties introduces 30 unique ways of starting your game with the addition of new rulers, alongside eight new wonders with which to leave a lasting legacy.

Each empire has received multiple new leaders to choose from, bringing additional starting conditions, family trees, traits, and events with them. Rule with an iron fist using Sulla’s unique Dictator trait, be the envy of other monarchs with Khufu’s ability to build countless wonders at reduced cost, or quickly forge a massive empire with Nebuchadnezzar’s rapid expansion. New wonders are at your disposal to open up new opportunities throughout a campaign – acquire free specialists with the Jerwan Aqueduct, become the trade capital of the world with the Al Khazneh, or spawn an endless army of swordsmen with the Colosseum.

Old World - Wonders and Dynasties includes:

  • 100+ new dynasty-related events including assassination attempts, state dinners, and varied interactions between historical characters across dynasties, cultures, and nations. Rewrite history from the turbulent relations between Nero & Agrippina, to the murder of Stateira.

  • 21 new character traits centering on the new dynasties. Each trait is unique to a specific character and adds new challenges and opportunities at court or in the field.

  • 8 new wonders with powerful bonuses and modifiers that can fundamentally change your approach. Whether you rely on the scientific benefits of the Royal Library, the power of faith provided by the Jebel Barkal, or the endless sea of triremes granted by the Cothon, you can seek out new opportunities through these testaments to human ambition.

  • 120 new historical characters including:

    • Hannibal, the fearsome Carthaginian general and statesman

    • Hanno the Navigator, famed explorer of the western coast of Africa

    • Akhenaten, founder of the monotheistic religion Atenism

    • Hammurabi, revered lawgiver and king

    • Stateira, progeny of the last Achaemenid shahanshah of Persia

    • Shammuramat, the inspiration for legendary Assyrian warrior-queen Semiramis

Reign supreme in the ancient world with Wonders and Dynasties – lead one of numerous new dynasties to greatness and erect magnificent new monuments to leave your mark on the world.

Very grateful for a major expansion pack to this excellent game. Is it worth your money? For me this one isn't in the same category as Sacred & Profane's "buy with the game". I would say here, if you enjoy the game a

The game is great, and the added features are nice, but the sale feels more like a show of support (which I gladly do), than a good buy. For half the price of this DLC, you get a new Civ and a campaign in Aegean and

There is a ridiculous amount of content in this DLC. Over 40 new leaders, each with their own unique backstories, dynasty, and leader bonuses, which are new (in fact, it makes the old leaders all worse because they

This DLC managed to do the impossible and get me to try nations other than Rome. For a couple hours AVE CAESAR!

Probably a little expensive, would at least recommend getting on sale. But there definitely seems to be a good amount of content in this DLC. This continues to be my current favorite 4x game and I haven't really gone
