Ara History Untold is the new 4X, come 6X, come Grand Strategy game in development from Oxide Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios. For the purpose of this video I'm considering Ara: History Untold to be a sort of Grand 4X game, and as we discuss it I think you'll see why. Following up on the reveal of an Ara History Untold Gameplay Trailer, and many developer diaries and screenshots about Ara History Untold since our last deep dive, today I'm taking a look at what makes Ara History Untold different from Civilization 6, Civ 5, Old World, or Humankind. How does Ara: History Untold set itself apart from other 4X Historical or 4X Grand Strategy games? And why does it look like the love child of Cities Skylines and Civ 5?

Well, I hope they go early access instead of full release because I have a feeling we’ll have a Humankind situation where a lot of things will change due to community feedback.

With the whole living world thing I hope they actually deliver instead of it just being corporate hype speak. A civ style strategy game with a true living world like victoria 2 would be amazing, where you actually build a society and civilization instead of just map painting and "culture number go up".

@TheGoreforce 9 месяцев назад

you need to either harvest the resource, or trade, or not build an item or building... Through the crafting system its not unlike victoria in terms of construction flow. However, it's still a turn based game.

@BJJohnson98 9 месяцев назад

The player elimination mechanic worries me a little. It seems like it’ll put unnecessary pressure on players to beeline specific objectives and also be hard to implement (for example, what happens to the territory of players who are eliminated? Does it become a bunch of “free cities” that only exist to be swallowed up by other players or just get reclaimed by the earth?). Also, it seems rather historically inaccurate. Civilizations don’t disappear overnight just because they’re no longer relevant on the world stage according to some arbitrary metric.

@armoredchimp 9 месяцев назад

I like it personally. Adds a bit more of a roguelike, run-focused style of gameplay which is what I'm used to these days with my attention span being so short. I tend to play 4x games on difficulties just above my skill level so I'm repeatedly getting my ass kicked, until that one good run where everything clicks and I can actually maybe win. Some people prefer to play a cozier, turtling style of gameplay and I can respect that too. Maybe the elimination could be the default mode but be an optional toggle.

@qrzone8167 9 месяцев назад

Like everything multiplayer, there's always going to be the one meta-gamer that ruins a roleplaying session.

@christopherpoet458 9 месяцев назад

Well, first, compromises have to be made. If the mechanic fits the playstyle of the game, real world accuracy takes a back seat. Just because the game is at large based on real world civilizations does not mean that the game has to abide by this in all its aspects. You can only get so far. That said, based on what the video spoke about, that is simply information we are not privy to. My best guess is the lands will be reclaimed slowly by the earth. That sounds to me to be the most fitting. The only other option I could see being taken is that the territory becomes a free city of sorts. Worst case, it just gets deleted and map space frees up. Again, have to keep in mind this is not a simulation but a game. Thus, it will have to cut corners and step away from reality from time to time. So, with that in mind, I would expect them to do whatever best serves the gameplay over historical accuracy in this case.

@williamrosa4005 9 месяцев назад

As a big Paradox Studios fan, I understand very much that a game with many moving parts is often released in a state of "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle". I commend them for trying many different things with the game, but I fear it may be a few things too many. Hopefully the game is friendly to modders, who are often the ones left adding depth to mechanics form overly ambitious developers. Truly best of luck, Ara team. I hope the team looks into a staged Early Access phase where people can try some of these novel mecahnics in a bit more isolation, giving the team time to iterate.

Sounds very interesting. Sadly, like many others here, I will have to say I'll believe it when I see it. The company's lack of similar products is a bit worrying. I will further agree with a few other comments here, they should do an early release option (assuming they really think they can pull this off) for all the community feedback.

@TheGoreforce 9 месяцев назад

they come from other strategy game studios, and they've made many of their own real time. This to me is a better game than civ or humankind, each time i launch humankind with buds I wish I was playing ara.

@thedragonborn9027 9 месяцев назад

I hope that the CIV elimination mechanic at the end of acts can be fleshed out more, IE: "You're empire is crumbling! (Flavor text here) this is your last chance to turn things around, if you don't improve your civilization by the next era, your power will wax away till it is nothing at all!"

@lanteanboy 9 месяцев назад

That Prestige system is interesting but can be pretty unforgiving for some players since it means, that you can't just turtle up for the first two acts and then release all your potential to achieve max prestige in the final act

@christopherpoet458 9 месяцев назад

I am going to stand to disagree. You probably could, but you can't just be sitting around doing nothing. What it does do it is incentivizes the player to be focused on some measure of continued growth of their civilization. Games like the Civ series give you a bit of a pass because you can turtle up and lock yourself into a state of contentment to go in for bigger punches later, but those are also games with a larger focus on military expansion and not really all that focused on the civilization itself. In Civ you can almost become an inactive player and just wait things out. This won't let you get away with that and I think that is very much needed for its objective of play style. That said, there will still probably be ways that you can prepare yourself for better strides in the later parts of the game. But those actions still require you to be an active player. Rather than reactive or idle.

@denniswiggins3816 9 месяцев назад

One thing that is not really reflected well in some of these world games is scarcity of resources. Lack of resources often led to wars and migration. This could adversely effect the prosperity of your civilization more than anything.

@TheGoreforce 9 месяцев назад

you litterally don't have the resource if you don't get it by means of trade, or means of production, with out it you wouldn't be able to make good buildings, special buildings, or equipment for your military. You can easily have more men, and not enough weapons to make your armies and lose because you where not prepared due to the scarcity of resources. Therefore ransacking supplies becomes a thing in this game. See the iron node, and destroy it, no more iron tech units.

@williamsmith6364 9 месяцев назад

based off this video i think the problem is that the game will play itself too often only giving a single player an optimal choice. As they said migration is natural and not controlled by the player. While realistically it makes sense, in function it might take away control from the player. Same with resources you don't really have to play around resources in civ 6 but that's what makes its it fun you can play around anything you want. I feel like ara is going to force players to play around their surroundings too hard instead of letting them do what they want.

@christopherpoet458 9 месяцев назад

Based on the presentation, that appears to be intentional, not a mistake. If the goal of this game is to share qualities of games like the Civ series but also give the game a deeper feel of simulation in the management of a civilizations growth, this is how it is done. You have to work with what you have. You can't conjure materials that do not exist in the area around you. This is how civilizations started in the past. Secondly, this does not appear to be aiming for the same play style that you are referencing. Actions will have restrictions and consequences, which is more than I can say for most Civilization based games I have come across. And third, you appear to have misunderstood the section of the video about migration. It is a natural thing with no direct or immediate control, yes. But you DO have ways to affect it. Aspects of your civilization that you can make desirable by comparison to others that boost or improve your rate of immigration. There may not be a hard number you are affecting, but that does not mean it is outside of your influence.

I'm already worried because they showed Greece being led by Sappho. For those who don't know, Sappho was an ancient Greek poet who is known for writing lesbian poetry. Gee, can't you think of anyone else in Greek history maybe worthy of leading them? So, woke alert; that'd be like having the US led by Dylan Mulvaney. Perhaps leadership is just a reflection of your goals, Sappho becomes your leader if you choose expression, but maybe you get Alexander if you take Greece down the military path. And if you take the US down the expression path, maybe you DO get Dylan...
