TFC: The Fertile Crescent is a captivating reimagining of classic base-building RTS, inspired by the epic struggles of growth, advancement, and conquest in the cradle of civilization – and it’s now out on GOG with a -20% launch discount until June 27th, 9 AM UTC!

Establish your village near fertile lands and balance your food surplus against the size of your civilian and military might as you build and expand. Food plays a crucial role beyond just feeding your troops; it determines the growth rate of your population and the speed at which you accumulate Knowledge Points. Keeping your village well-fed ensures prosperous expansion, while compromised farms can cripple even the strongest economies.

Now on GOG!

This is great! I have it on Steam but bought it here again to support the developers. A fantastic Age of Empires-like game with some good new mechanics that fit the time period.

Can we expect to see the native linux version on gog eventually? (Assuming it really is a native build)

Tennessee Fried Chicken?
Just kidding.

I really like the pixel graphics - very nicely done!

The genre, on the other hand - is not for me.

Hey !
I was playing an early build of this game via Itch.io and it was pretty decent !
Amazing it got to gog.

There is a native Linux build distributed through Steam, and another one for the early demo/alpha on itch.io.
I am going to refrain from buying this game until a DRM-free native Linux build is available for the full version.

Features:
- Campaign with 10 missions

Ouch... Looks like a decent, classic RTS (not whatever gets labeled as RTS these days) but with this low longevity, can't justify buying until a deep discount arrives.

Someone remade a 90s RTS game (Age of Empires) with graphics that are more pixelated than the original? Why would I buy this instead of playing O A.D.?

I asked the developer if they would be willing to provide a DRM-free native Linux build: https://itch.io/post/10116627

Because it looks like a really nice game, and playing it would not prevent in any way from still playing 0 A.D. too?

Because reading the description tells me it got a soil fertility mechanic, that will strongly alter food production, while a lot of stuff seems to be based on your food surplus after consumption, so a litte bit Hegemony mixed in, without the lines of supply.

Other things to balance, other gameplay.

And not in alpha for like 2 decades.

TFC obviously stands for Team Fortress Classic.

You're both wrong. TFC stands for The Fabulous Cats.

According to gogdb, the Linux and Mac builds are now up :)

Thank you, devs!

At last! We desperately needed more games titled with a 3-letter initialism which is then immediately elaborated. So far the only other one I know of is FTL: Faster Than Light.

If you play RTS games, you know that usually, most of the longevity comes from skirmish mode. Which this has, also a horde mode. Plus it's already cheap.
