TFC: The Fertile Crescent

TFC: The Fertile Crescent is a real-time strategy game set in the Bronze Age Near East, where players build a village on fertile land and defend it from raids. Food supplies affect the growth of the population and army, while a surplus generates Knowledge Points for village advancements. Shortages and attacks on farms can undermine the economy, making it important to protect fields and raid those of the opponent.

Knowledge Points can be spent on Village Improvements to strengthen defenses, develop the economy, or respond to enemy tactics. Victory can come through military conquest or by building a Wonder. As the settlement grows, players choose one of three civilizations, each with distinct strengths. The game also includes a 10-mission campaign, battles against AI opponents, a survival mode featuring waves of mountain nomads, and a sandbox mode without mission objectives.
