The Gang is all here! Askallad got roped in and joined Socerton, Beale, Sir Nevels, and CalerbCalmari for another doozy of an episode. We discuss the new civilizations and what makes them so good (and bad in the Order of the Dragon's case) as well as the discord around how "cheating" they are to play. We also discuss our keybindings, Esports and what makes an athlete, as well as much, much more!

BONUS! Beale interviews Woprok the modder and creator of the Advanced Game Settings Mod and Outback Octagon 2 mod. We saw this post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/comments/17su85y/end_of_advanced_game_settings_mod/?share_id=BhSI8VdT2JyAQtZc5W6tZ&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 where he announced that he was no longer going to support the mod and so we interviewed him about his decision.

*NOTE: Beale's audio is a bit choppy and we apologize for that, but hey, extra sheep are sometimes a bit wonky.
