About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the game Age of Wonders, debating whether it is flawed or flavourful.
Is this a battle of people with "battle" in their name? Welcome BattleMode, well known for his uncompromising opinions on modern game design(don't mention "gameplay loop!) Welcome BloodyBattleBrain, well known for his somewhat unhealthy obsession with Age of Wonders. And welcome rickyP, neutral observer with fresh eyes. Enjoy this conversation about the behemoth Age of Wonders, and you decided - is it flawed, or flavourful, or both?
