What it is
Olden War is a turn based strategy game where you are the commander of the clan Blue Wolves. As commander you will have to conquer 5 territories, which have an abundance of iron and fertile ground, while raising armies using 11 different unit types. But beware, these territories are settled by native inhabitants and a competing clan with the same goal.
The game has a 5 map story campaign and a random map generation option, bases can be upgraded and are used to create new units, up to 6 units can be grouped together and battles are automated, there are 5 map tile types with different affects including harbors needed for travel on water tiles.
The premise
In ancient times, when all conflicts were solved by the sword and strange creatures dwelled in deep forests, none could be sure with his life. Many people have died without even knowing where the death blow came from.
At that time simple folk had nothing left, but to create small alliances - fellowships - that struggled for survival. Centuries have passed in which they have succeeded to secure the lands and expand their territory, for their numbers have risen as well.
During that time, two clans have gained the upper hand: the clan of Red devils and the clan of Blue wolves. Though they had disputes, the decision has been made to put them aside so the land would not once again become the chaotic realm of beasts. However, as the expansion progressed and more of the land was available, the will to share started to weaken. Soon the Red devils tasted the bitter wrath of their barbaric brothers. The burning villages and tortured bodies are a sight too horrible bear in peace. A war came knocking on your door. And you will let her in!
