Laws in Old World offer you a choice between two opposing factions. In order to put a law into action, you’ll need 400 Civics as well as a prerequisite technology. Each law has its own bonuses to offer, and depending on which law you choose, it will have a huge impact on how your nation or empire grows.

Below is a quick guide regarding laws in Old World and anything you need to know about them.

There are 4 options to choose from. You can either choose to enact the first law or the second, choose to put off picking a law as of the moment, or choose to let the court decide which law to pick.

Once you’ve chosen a law, it will immediately take effect, and you can then see the active laws in your Law screen.

When you hover your mouse on an inactive law, you’ll be able to see its prerequisite technology. Once you’ve unlocked the prerequisite technology, you’ll then get a prompt saying new laws are available.
