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.

Scouts can hide in trees in friendly or enemy territory, preventing the enemy from seeing them. They can hide in all tiles if the Nation Leader has the TRAIT SCHEMER.png Schemer archerype.

After a War ends the two Nations cannot be at war again for 5 turns.

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.

Trees

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