Kings And Conquerors: an Age of Empires 2 Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The year comes to an end. And how better to end the year than by all new DLC and updates to our beloved games. We apologize for the delay. We had nearly finished our november episode when our paternal duties called for us. Now, yet another patch later we patched up the episode out of different takes and recordings. We cut a lot out and hope that the Chimera that remains is to your liking. We had picked 2023 to commit to our current format and are currently evaluating how it went. We ask for your input about the future of the podcast. You are very welcome to join the discussion on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠or give us your feedback about the podcast! Or you can send us a digital carrier pidgeon at kingsandconquerorspodcast@gmail.com An overview of the segments can be found below: Welcome to the Podcast (0:00:30) Notable News  (0:12:14) Talk of the Show (0:39:51) Civ of the Month (2:27:16) Goodbye (3:04:19)

Do you hear Ozzy's iconic voice while reading this title? If so you are a champ!

This is a minisode and only features Penn. It explains why the full episode hasn't released at this moment in time and what you can expect from the podcast in the upcoming months.

Afterwards Penn talks about some of his thoughts about AoE right now: Monaspa cheese strat, Monks and finally he looks back at the concluded TTL3 tournament.

We will keep you posted on the Discord and hit you up with a full and proper episode as soon as we can.

February is here! The month in which you celebrate that special loved one, and we all know that special loved one is Age of Empires 2.

If you follow us on our channels you already know what this is about (if not: go follow us right now) and otherwise the title probably gave it away: this episode focusses on CHEATING in AoE2!

If you can't (or don't want to) listen to it in one blissful session we have this little overview for you:

We apologize for keeping you waiting, but we hope our announcement at the end can make up for it.

We hope you enjoy!

If you want to participate in some casual tournaments, keep an eye out in the discord of Paradox303

In this second trial episode we aboard the hype train to Heidelberg Castle for Red Bull Wololo: Legacy 2022, arguably the biggest Age Of Empires 2 tournament this world has ever seen. We discuss the game mode, the maps, the players and the show itself. And of course we debate our favourites for this epic clash of giants within the world of professional AOE2. 

We hope you enjoy!

As for every big AOE2 event all details can be found on Liquipedia

Or you can check out the official website

In this first (trial)  episode we dive into the latest Age Of Empires 2 game patch (66692) and discuss the impact of the changes that were made. 

A special focus on the new cost of the crossbowman and arbalester upgrade. 

This episode can be seen as a prequel or demo for what is to come for this podcast. As of now, we are still in the investigative phase for what we want to do with this podcast as well as making technical preparations. 

We hope you enjoy yourself and maybe even learn a thing or two.

Sincerely,

With pride we present our 10th episode, double digits: HUZZAH!

We follow the same structure as always and have some scoops for what we want to do with the next episodes.

This episode focusses on the clergy of Age of Empires 2. Despite of being perpetually unchanged, monks have been added to the game balance discussion recently. Perfect time to take a closer look at this special unit and how to play them.

We ask for your input about the future of the podcast. You are very welcome to join the discussion on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or give us your feedback about the podcast! Or you can send us a digital carrier pidgeon at kingsandconquerorspodcast@gmail.com

Welcome to another episode of our show! And this time we do things a bit differently...

Based on your feedback we tried keeping it a bit shorter this time around.

Also we already announced the main topic last time: If you were an AoE2 dev; what would you like to add/change/do with our beloved game? And asked our community for input to discuss in our episode.

As a final shift from our traditions we invited our very first guest on the show: Juda-Ben Gordier! Co Founder, project manager and character artist at Pajama Llama Games. In short: an actual professional who knows what he's talking about, in stark contrast to the podcast hosts.

So this episode will be somewhat different, we hope it is all to your liking.
