What is TFC: The Fertile Crescent?
This is an isometric real-time strategy game inspired by the Bronze Age Near East. In matches, you build a village near fertile soil, manage food for a growing population and army, and use Knowledge Points earned from food surpluses to improve your village. You can pursue conquest or build a Wonder across campaign missions, AI skirmishes, wave defense, sandbox, and multiplayer.
For you if...
- +you want a relatively simple take on real-time strategy
- +you enjoy food-focused base building and farm raids
- +you like alternating between AI skirmishes and multiplayer matches
Not for you if...
- −you expect many civilizations and sharply different playstyles
- −you prefer strategy without food management and farm defense
