| 8/14/26 | eXplorminate | eXpansion & eXploitation | Hi all.We have had a bit of a break at eXplorminate, been enjoying the sweltering summer and the World Cup.But, now we are back, with a new episode.Listen to the whole team (and a special guest, who we hope to interview very soon :D ), based on 2 continents, talk about eXpansion and eXploitation, the 2nd (3rd?) in our holistic look at the 4X genre.For reasons that will become clear in the pod, these 2 phases are intertwined. After all, the empire must expand, to meet the needs of the expanding empire!(to paraphrase Oscar Wilde)This is a 2hr episode, so buckle up. Because of time differences, some of us were recording this is in the small hours of the morning, so apologies if we sound tired (mainly me!)---------------------This podcast wouldn’t be possible without our amazing Patrons.eXplorminate is an independent games journalism and games loving website and community, but we cannot make things happen without your support.Please donate to the Patreon, visit our YouTube, listen to our podcast and join our Discord, if you want to support us. | — | ||||||
