We heard that some Extra Sheep were given in the Outback Octagon and that controversy ensued! So, Socerton, CalerbCalamari, and Askallad dive into why that's just silly. We also talk about the starting moves of every Civilization and how we think the patch is going so far. We also discuss tips on getting better at the game, Dnd Characters, Frost Punk II and more!

Socerton introduces a new game for the show: Pick Your Poison, where Askallad and Beale have to decided witch bad event in AoE IV is preferable (would you rather lose a scout with 10 sheep or have 4 or your knights wololoed?). We also talk about the state of the game, how to beat mongols, and Socerton's ill-fated attempt at the Rising Empires Low ELO Legends Upper Bracket. All that and more in this week's episode! (ALSO: There's a new MoreKnights ad this week!)

Good news is Socerton is over the yips, even better news is that King of the Rockies is in less than two weeks and we had Draxos on again to talk about it! 

Season 8 is here and it's kinda similar to last season? Except now Socerton can't win a game. We talk about our excitement for King of the Rockies and much, much more!
