 https://www.youtube.com/user/L0rdMasta

as they chat about games of strategy and skill.

First, the Oregon Trail-style Indie game Silk Roads: Caravan Kings. It's like if Marco Polo didn't make stuff up about his trip to China.

Then, they tackle Europa Universalis IV, a massive grand strategy game from Paradox Interactive. Their latest DLC, Leviathan, adds many new ways to convince, coerce or crush your opponents. 

Finally, Hold Fast: Nations at War, am MMO FPS series spanning from the Napoleonic era to the US Civil War.


All this plus:

Thomas considers the purpose of a flute player in 1700's warfare

Loki gives a lecture on why a universal currency is bad because equal value cannot be established

and they discuss why the old style of warfare was stupid as hell.

All this and perhaps more on this latest episode!

Wrestling with Nostalgia

The Internet's Worst Gaming Podcast slams back into action! Join Hosts Loki Jarson and L0rd Masta (aka Thomas) as they grapple and strategize with this episodes topics. First, Thomas recounts his multiplayer adventures in Civilization VI . Can his years of experience out-class total strategy amateurs? Then, Old World , a game from of the same people who worked on the Civ series. Set entirely in Europe, does it play more like a knock-off Crusader Kings?

The answers to these questions, plus even more questions on this episode, enjoy! Episode 64: Wrestling with Nostalgia

The delays, the bugs, the fury upon release, the eventual fixes, next-gen upgrades, and the fall from grace of CD Projeckt Red . Did the devs promise lies, or was fan expectation just too high?  Then, they discuss, after even further delays, the actual gameplay. Cars, guns, quick-hacking, story spoilers and more! Is Night City worth exploring, or does the mission structure make it boring? Plus, speaking of boring: a moratorium of From Software's Dark Souls games.
