While Manor Lords goes medieval and Terra Invicta takes things to space, Old World is the strategy game in Hooded Horse's excellent lineup that Civilization fans will really gravitate to. One of the first projects to be published by the label, Old World is still going strong, and it's just dropped a new DLC that is full of disasters. Don't fret, I'm not talking about game-breaking bugs or questionable mechanics, I'm talking about the ones cooked up by Mother Nature - or the gods, in this case. So, get ready for your hexes to be battered by tsunamis, wildfires, sandstorms, and more in the Wrath of Gods DLC, which also adds a new faction, dozens of new events, and much more.
