Welcome back to the Montezuma Campaign! In this episode, we'll finally meet our nemesis: Hernan Cortez. But before that, we need to rally our allies in order to defeat our sworn enemies and capture as many human sacrifices as possible to appease our gruesome goods.

[ENG] Campaign: Montezuma #1 Reign of Blood
This is the kickoff episode of the Montezuma Campaign in Age of Empires II. I played all six missions of the campaign and delved deep into historical research, and I would like to share the results with you in this short campaign series. The Aztec campaign was released with the release of The Conqueror add-on in 2000 and tells the story of the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan and the fall of the Aztec Empire during the reign of Montezuma II in the beginning of the 16th century. This first mission has no real historical background but offers insights in how the Addon had been promoted before it was released. There's a lot to uncover and I hope you'll enjoy this series!

[GER] Tafelrunde #25: Sehnsucht nach Burgen
Willkommen zurück zur Tafelrunde! Wir kredenzen euch drei Spielethemen in dieser Ausgabe: Age of Empires II, Stronghold Crusader: DE und Wandering Village. In Age of Empires sprechen wir darüber, dass die Hoffnung auf das nächste Update sehr groß ist, wir aber auch erst sehen müssen, was kommt, bevor wir es glauben werden. Stronghold Crusader ist in der Definitive Edition ein echter Hingucker und unter Spieler:innen sehr beliebt, aber Felix und Christian haben sich den schweren Koop-Pfad genauer angesehen und ihr Zwischenfazit lautet: Das fühlt sich nicht wie Stronghold an. Deswegen ist Christian dann in die friedliche Welt der Städtebausimulation abgedriftet und hat sich nach dem lange ersehnten Release von Wandering Village auf den Rücken einer gigantischen Kreatur begeben, um dort eine Zivilisation aufzubauen.
Viel Spaß beim Hören!
Felix & Christian

[ENG] Civilizations #02: Huns
From all of the many civilizations in Age of Empires II, Huns are probably the ones having the greates impact on the game. They have been played for many years in the Hun Wars and coined the term "Huns are Huns". In this podcast, we'll do a deep dive into what actually makes huns the huns we know and, spoiler, have always known. There is a lot of nostalgia involved for some players and others may find the huns a little lackluster for good reason. Also: why don't they have stepplancers? There's a lot to uncover when talking about the Huns and I hope you'll enjoy this episode!

[ENG] Masterpieces #02: The Final Revolution
In this episode of Masterpieces, I'll be telling you the story of how the infamous Flemish Revolution has not only decided the Winner of NAC 4, but then shortly after has been nerfed out of existence. The Flemish Revolution allows the Burgundian player to transform all of his Villagers into powerful military units and change the pace of the game in an instant. I hope you enjoy this Masterpiece by Liereyy!
