[GER] Tafelrunde #27: Vergiftete Stimmung
Willkommen zur 27. Tafelrunde! In der heutigen Tafelrunde diskutieren wir das aktuell etwas leidige Thema von Wettanbietern in Age of Empires II. Wir haben diesbezüglich eine klare ablehnende Haltung und führen hier einen eher lockeren Austausch und erzählen euch von unseren eigenen Gefühlen zur Diskussion, statt ein Fachgespräch über die negativen Auswirkungen von Glücksspiel im eSport zu führen, da dieser Zusammenhang längst erwiesen ist. Doch damit die Stimmung etwas aufgebessert ist, empfiehlt Felix eine Gameshow der besonderen Art von einem ihm sehr lieb gewonnenen Streamer. Außerdem hat Felix Death Stranding begonnen und outet sich als großer Freund von Kojimas filmischer Videospielregie.Viel Spaß beim Hören!Felix & ChristianUnterstütze unser Projekt hier und höre deutsche Versionen der englischen Podcasts:SteadyDiscordMusik: Joey Jojo vom offiziellen AoE II: DE OST.

[ENG] How to beat Hera
This episode offers a very different kind of content for you. I analyzed Hera's past 39 defeats on Arabia during his world record attempt and collected some data, which I analyze here in the podcast. My goal: to find out if there's a pattern that tells us how to defeat Hera. In doing so, some truly interesting insights have come to light. It's impossible not to acknowledge that Hera is an exceptional player, almost unmatched in versatility and mechanical skill. Therefore, finding systematic weaknesses in such a complete player as Hera is an ambitious undertaking. Well, decide for yourself whether I've succeeded.ChrisThe Excel sheetDiscordSupport the Podcast on:PatreonSteady (german)Music: "Carne y Helado" of the official AoE II Soundtrack.

[ENG] Masterpieces #03: The Best Final of All Times
In this episode of Masterpieces, I'll tell you the story of what I consider to be the best final that we've seen in competitive Age of Empires II to this day: The finals of RB Wololo 3 between Daut and Liereyy. This matchup brings together two generations and two different playstyles. I hope you enjoy reliving one of the best games of Age of Empires II!ChrisThe GameDiscordSupport the Podcast on:PatreonSteady (german)Music: "Carne y Helado" of the official AoE II Soundtrack.

[ENG] Magazine Ep. #05 October 2025
I’m Chris, your host of this wonderful podcast, and please forgive my cracky voice because I was super sick recording this episode! In the news, I’ll be talking about Sudden Dessaster 2, the Quintessential Cookout, the cancellation of the December LAN, and the announcement of a new DLC. In the franchise news, I’ll briefly touch on the fact that we’ve received more info on the new roguelite RTS game mode in AoE IV and that the second — and possibly final — DLC for Age of Mythology has been released. As for game news, I’ll skip that this time to save my voice, so we’ll head straight into podcast news and then take a look at the tournament outlook for October 2025. I hope you enjoy the show!ChrisDiscordSupport the Podcast on:PatreonSteady (german)Timecodes:00:00 Intro01:17 News19:36 Franchise News23:14 Podcast News26:30 Tournament Outlook October 2025Links:Master of HyperRandom 3Sudden Dessaster 2Midweek MadnessAoE2Germany
