OLD WORLD: Aksumite Empire - THE GREAT+++ Difficulty

I've been exploring different settings to try and up the ante of some of my games lately and find a nice sweetspot between challenge and fun. This is a full Aksum playthough, not edited down into clips so it's the full game start to finish in one video. Using Great+ settings after spending the last month-ish tinkering with some advanced settings to add a little bit of extra difficulty to the game. Things get a bit rough for the Aksumites in the Old World this game, we get into quite a few tricky situations.

In this game I play on THE GREAT Difficulty, with the following adjustments;

Increases A.I. Development to MASSIVE
Ruthless A.I.
No Undo
No Ruins
Low Resource Density

I tend to play the game muted, and forgot to turn on the game sounds during recording, so I apologize that this video will have a lack of music - even with drama :P

If you'd like to play this game yourself, or if you'd like to review the final game state, hop on over to the "Community Content" section of the official Old World Discord channel to download the save files for this game.

Enjoy, and thanks for watching.
