The game features a world filled with characters who have distinct personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. You can recruit famous warriors, philosophers, and builders to help shape your kingdom, defend your borders, and form alliances with other leaders. Characters evolve over time, gaining new traits and eventually passing away, making way for the next generation.

In the unexplored wilderness, you'll encounter tribes, barbarian marauders, and remnants of past cultures. You can discover artifacts and legendary heroes at ruins, experience thousands of unique events inspired by history and mythology, and engage in courtroom drama with foreign dignitaries. The game offers historically inspired scenarios, weekly challenges, and both randomly generated and handcrafted maps to explore.

Old World introduces fresh elements to the 4X strategy genre. Resources are more realistic, with buildings requiring wood and stone, and population growth not solely dependent on food. Orders are a shared resource, allowing units to move multiple times per turn until fatigued. The technology tree is randomized, keeping each playthrough unique. Quality of life improvements, such as undoing commands and nested tooltips, help you make informed decisions. The game also offers various multiplayer modes and features a Grammy-nominated soundtrack blending Arabic music with contemporary influences. Mods provide endless possibilities for creating new worlds, empires, and dynasties.
