Very Cultural Vikings

Cultures 3+4, a pair of real-time strategy games from the Cultures (also known as Northland and 8th Wonder of the World) is available in a bundle, now on GOG.com for $9.99.

Travels are fun, especially when they help you discover the meaning behind those strange visions you have been having recently, and even more especially if you're defeating ancient Snake Gods. You did some all-around-the-world travelling in Cultures 2: The Gates of Asgard, but now it's time to get back to Northlands to set up societies, build and expand cities, do some anti-monster magic, wander around some underworlds, and fight the legendary Fenris Wolf. In 8th Wonder of the World, Bjarni and friends need to create 8 Wonders of the World (surprise!) to save humanity once again. GO VIKINGS!

Cultures games are city-building RTSes with some RPG elements, minimal fighting and plenty of construction, expansion, and customization. If you really want to dig deep into the lives of your Vikings, you'll be happy to know that every single unit in Northland is unique, with its own experience, occupation, available professions, and many other unique characteristics. Micromanagement is the name of the game and if you liked Cultures 1+2, The Settlers, or Caesar 3, you'll enjoy the detailed interface, social interactions, plethora of options, and difficult AI.

Grab Cultures 3+4, a bundle of Viking-and-fun-based real-time strategies made by people who know how to make Viking-and-fun-based real-time strategies, now on GOG.com for $9.99.

b0wter: Sadly, even if you buy Cultures 1 + 2 and Cultures 3 + 4 on GOG you do not have all the content there is.
In 2003 Funnatics shipped what is called "Cultures: The Saga" which includes Cultures 1 and Cultures 3 + 4 as well as one additional campaign and two community crafted campaigns.
I really wish GOG would somehow be able to release the additional content :/

triock: Is this extra content in English or in German only?
Honestly, I do not know. I did some brief research and found nothing (ebay/amazon/wikipedia). But that doesn't necessarily mean anything as the games are hard to come by even in Germany.
I really need to get into this series.

Ty, but that's really bad news :/
I was hoping a long time that GOG would some day release some kind of "complete cultures pack".

Long time ago I bought the Cultures Anthology on DotEmu, which includes Cultures Gold (Cultures 1 + Cultures: Die Rache des Regengottes)
Good to see this finally arrive on here. Another excellent release.
Very nice, love these Cultures games

i have "Das Achte Weltwunder" . It is a nice game. But for me, it was too slow.
Thank you GOG for another great release! Love the series, but never played 3 or 4, so this is a very nice release for me.
Never knew there was a 3rd or 4th xD awesome
Might buy it just to add to the Cultures collection xD
+1
Odd that GOG apparently wasn't able to include the soundtracks here. Oh well, not as exciting to me as past weeks, but obviously not every week can be fantastic. :)

WHAT OF THE NEW PUBLISHER
