Hints

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.

The Terrain units more order will have an impact on how far they can move each turn. 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.

As a rule of thumb, it is best to have at least one Worker per city, a few extras to build Roads or assist where needed and at least one to cut down trees each turn until a Lumbermill is built.

Religion

Each Nation will follow a unique Pagan Religion at first. When certain requirements are met the Nation can found a different Religion which can use Disciplines.

Each character will follow its own Religion. When enough characters in a Family convert to the Nation's religion the Nation will receive additional benefits.

Religion	Founding requirements
Christianity	Metaphysics 12 Citizens 1 Owned Jewish City 2 Global Jewish Cities
Judaism	Labor Force 2 Ranchers
Manichaeism	Monasticism 2 Global Christian Cities 2 Global Zoroastrian Cities
Zoroastrianism	2 Acolytes

Trees

Trees can be cut by a Worker to produce Wood. Trees cut down will regrow in a few turns. But if a tile is cleared completely of trees they will not grow again.
