The Extra Sheep: The Unofficial Age of Empires IV Podcast

Socerton and Askallad welcome Sir_Pengwin to the show! They talk about the big announcement a few weeks ago and what that means for AoE IV in 2026 as well as a deep dive into the historical veracity of the civs in AoE IV to their real-life counterparts. All that and more in our final episode of 2025!

We almost didn't get this one recorded, but we did! CalerbCalmari calls in and talks with Socerton about how the new civs are measuring up and how the season has gone thus far. Topics range from what "whelmed" means to how the Crucible feels. We also go on some tangents including a chat about what we think some of the top games this year were and what will win awards. All that and more in this week's episode!
