A friend just sent information about this game to me and I realize it’s brand-new, but does anyone have any further information about whether it’s worth the investment?
I hadn’t head of this so I googled and found this: Old World is a 4X game for people who think Civilization is too long.
Sounded like a game my a studio I never heard of, but that’s some legit pedigree and a middle ground between Crusader Kings and Civilization is intriguing. Probably not going to buy it though, but something to watch for sure.
I believe they did Fortnite. Whether that’s a plus or a minus is up to you. 
It’s not developed by Epic, just distributed on the Epic store. Developed by Mohawk.
