Maybe it's just @snogger and me playing this game, but I thought I'd create a separate thread so as to not clog up the Civ 6 discussion.
Anyway, óld world is an "historical, epic strategy game from Soren Johnson, Lead Designer of Civilization IV" It has some similar features but in other ways, it is very different. The AI's ability to wage war is so much better than that in Civ 6 it is ridiculous. The AI can be strategic (e.g., ganging up on units, retreating if necessary). Also, you don't have unlimited moves (you have what are called orders; so you have to prioritize what you are going to do each turn). And your leader can die. If you don't have an heir, you lose. The character aspect of the game really puts it over the top.
I started a game at the Strong level (4th of 8 difficulty settings) and I'm in last place. I've been bogged down fighting the Vandals while Persia and Greece pile up points. I haven't even met the 3rd AI opponent. I finally clear the Vandals and start settling their sites when Greece declares on me. Fortunately I have a slew of experienced military to defend and counter. We'll see how it goes.

Can try.. Not sure how many have dived in... I did get further now with your tips.. But bleeping Greece decided he just didn't like Egypt being top dog.. Next thing I knew he came attacking with about 20 troops and wiped out two of my towns and basically the majority of my troops.. Live and learn.
