The Extra Sheep: The Unofficial Age of Empires IV Podcast

Socerton, CalerbCalmari, and Askallad react to the announcement of the second civ being added this fall, the Scots, along side the Vikings! 

Askallad and Socerton talk discuss if cheating is as bad of an issue as Reddit sometimes says, and what could actually be done about it.

Askallad and Socerton dive into the patch notes and the preview of the new Yue Fei's Legacy going live on May 7! Askallad finally became part of the "in-crowd" and uses his newfound powers for good: giving information to us the players!

Socerton, CalerbCalamari, and Askallad welcome Sir_Pengwin back to the show to talk about the upcoming DLC and new Civilization, the Jin Dynasty.    Follow Sir_Pengwin on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sir_pengwin  

Socerton, Calerb, and Askallad have been distracted lately, by Slay the Spire 2! We talk a bit about AoE IV, then do a quick review about Slay the Spire 2 and then talk about video game sequels and the iteration of games. All that and more in this week's episode!

Askallad does it, he finally "sells out" and gets paid for a full day's work for casting after having been a long time contributor to the Age of Empires IV Scene. He and Socerton talk about that as well as the knight and cavalry meta that has solidified (and dominated team games) for the last few seasons.    Socerton's Discord: https://discord.gg/BjU8QcVgFQ   Support us on Patreon at: https://www....
