Old World - Wonders and Dynasties introduces 30 unique ways of starting your game with the addition of new rulers, alongside eight new wonders with which to leave a lasting legacy.

Each empire has received multiple new leaders to choose from, bringing additional starting conditions, family trees, traits, and events with them. Rule with an iron fist using Sulla’s unique Dictator trait, be the envy of other monarchs with Khufu’s ability to build countless wonders at reduced cost, or quickly forge a massive empire with Nebuchadnezzar’s rapid expansion. New wonders are at your disposal to open up new opportunities throughout a campaign – acquire free specialists with the Jerwan Aqueduct, become the trade capital of the world with the Al Khazneh, or spawn an endless army of swordsmen with the Colosseum.
