After my bitter and ongoing disappointment with Humankind I broke down and got an Epic account and bought Old World. Totally worth it!!! I have a long way to go and a lot to learn, but this game looks good. Old World rocks while Humankind s-ck's!

I'm good now. Thanks for pulling me back from the edge.

I have had some more time in on this now and it is much more like what I had hoped for Humankind. So far I like it. But, it is still early days and I have not even fought my first war yet. My biggest complaint so far is the lack of a handy board to monitor discussions like Steam provides. That is an Epic failure, not the game's.

There's a very active discussion board for it on Discord.  The link is on the bottom left of the title screen when you start the game.

Holding...for now. I can wait for 6 months or a year. I've done it for other titles. And I'll just keep telling myself that, repeatedly...

I'm playing as Assyria now.  My current ruler managed to usurp power from his older brother and ascended to the throne in spite of the fact that the elder brother was the legitimate heir.  He grew up with a pet monkey.  Said monkey has long harboured a dislike of the elder brother and has thus been trained and sent on an assassination mission to slip poison into the elder brother's drink while he treats with a delegation from Carthage.

Monkey assassins Gus!  How can you resist?

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Mission successful!  And he made it look like the Carthaginians did it.

That's a dang smart monkey.  Not only committed a calculated murder, but managed to frame an entire civilization for it!  Can you install him as your ruler?

Do I sense a crack in your never epic resolve?
