Even mor Total War (2/3)

This is it! We are kicking of our Total War episodes with a retrospective. An much like the game themselves the episodes turned out a bit longer than expected. So, what was Total War like back in the olden days? Before hero units and detailed graphics? We talk about the games, the mechanics, the settings, the design choices and what was improved, forgotten or outright abandoned. 

Total War 1/3 - the good ol' days

We talk about the most expected strategy games announced during the summer - and why they all seem to be sequels! 

Strategy games - autumn 2025 

Johan and Magnus talk about the excellent game Steel Division. A game for people deeply interested in the minutia of the battlefield. Andreas is the innocent bystander asking naive questions. 

Tanks a lot! - Steel Division 2

In this episode Johan and Andreas invite Pontus to talk about one of the game series which have shaped us as strategy gamers, role players and geeks in general! 

Heroes of Might and Magic - remembering greatness

In this episode we discuss the merits and flaws of two of the major "styles" of strategy games:  real time strategy games and turn based strategy games. Which do you prefer? Is there something we are missing? Leave a comment! Also, we apologise for the sound issues early on in the episode, we will get wise to them and fix them a few minutes in! 

RTS vs Turn based

This weekend we will be casting a game of Hearts of Iron 4 with Hygge Gaming https://www.youtube.com/@hyggegaming 

In this Episode your hosts invited Lucas, a veteran stream- and studio technician who has rigged and supervised the casting of many a game. We talk about the upcoming match and well as the challenges and tricks of the trade when casting a 8-10 hour long game! 

Casting Grand Strategy - Hearts of iron IV

Magnus, Johan and Andreas mix work and play by talking about politics, policies and diplomacy in strategy games. Since war is just politics by other means, or perhaps the other way around, it is very common for strategy games to have a diplomatic or political route to victory. This has of course caused a lot of consternation, annoyance and exploits. In this episode we discuss politics, policies and diplomacy done right, wrong or perhaps just as an afterthought.
