Welcome to Episode 272
We're still hear, and still haven't faded
We kick off with Skazz revealing the mad griding he's been doing in order to unlock upgrades on Heros of Hammerwatch, we discuss the game further talking about the levels and upgrades available for the Heros
Ram has been playing a game that was gifted to him by Skazz; Sid Meyer Beyond Earth, the spiritual successor to the incredibly popular Alpha Centauri. Despite the poor reputation, Ram has been having a good time with it. He discusses the mechanics and game play and some of his major annoyances of the game, mainly the UI
We also discuss Skazz spying on Ram, Selling out and Rams Villain origin story
Notes
Our theory on the watcher was correct
The failed spiritual success to alpha centauri, Sid Meier's Beyond earth
It was actually Civilization 4, not 3 that was Ram's first Civ experience
And here is the fantastic title music
The longest game of Civ2
We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on 31st July 2025, at 18:30 GMT+1
