JoWooD Productions today announced it has signed The Golden Horde, a new RTS game developed by World Forge and due to ship on March 28th. Based on the same engine and gameplay principles as Ancient Wars: Sparta, The Golden Horde will include things as use of ice in battles on rivers and lakes, and use of explosives during sieges. There will be three playable sides in the game - Crusaders, Russians and Mongols - each of them with a set of special bonuses. The Golden Horde will also include 3 full-fledged campaigns, as well as a number of scenarios portraying historical battles which can be played by LAN or Internet. A new batch of screenshots has been added in our gallery - a Russian demo is locally mirrored here.
