Empires rise and fall through military might, political aptitude, and diplomatic savvy – but all know to fear, above all, the Wrath of Gods. Experience devastating natural disasters, a unique scenario that explores stories of legend, and the playable kingdom of Aksum.

Old World - Wrath of Gods introduces natural disasters to the base game in the form of nine calamities ranging from devastating droughts to map-changing earthquakes.

Meanwhile, the playable kingdom of Aksum comes with its own leaders, character traits, units, projects, and buildings, and the new Wrath of Gods scenario features a multitude of unique mechanics to tell the mythical tale of a nation’s founding under the watchful eyes of its gods.<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3406150/extras/191580dd87d41ef9378342be7959a841.poster.avif?t=1763632680" width=780 height=350 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3406150/extras/191580dd87d41ef9378342be7959a841.webm?t=1763632680" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3406150/extras/191580dd87d41ef9378342be7959a841.mp4?t=1763632680" type="video/mp4"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >Old World - Wrath of Gods includes: </h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>9 calamities with significant gameplay effects – from terrain transformations that impact the strategic map to benefits for military units that have been suitably adapted.
