Viel ist geschehen in den vergangenen Jahren und insbesondere seit dem Release der Definitive Edition von AoE II. Insbesondere die Art und Weise, wie Spieleröffnungen gestaltet sind, hat sich stark verändert. Wir nehmen dies zum Anlass, in einer neuen Reihe über Strategien zu philosophieren. Den Beginn machen wird mit einer Folge über den Dark Age Rush (Drush) sowie Men at Arms (M@A) Openings. Unter anderem geht es darum, welche Arten des Drushes es gibt, wann lieber Men at Arms geöffnet werden sollte und welche Follow-ups es üblicher Weise gibt. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören wünschen
Felix & Christian

[GER] Strategien #01: Drush & M@A

Welcome to the next Age of Empires Magazine. This month, I have plenty of topics to discuss with you! We'll start with Age of Empires news with Cartographers II, talk about the eSports calendar and the extensive tournament program for the coming year, then I'll summarize the current balance changes to the Three Kingdoms civilizations, and we'll talk about a custom scenario that the devs created in cooperation with the Louvre. In Franchise News, I'll tell you briefly about a few updates from AoE IV and AoM, as well as the tournament calendar entries for these games. In Game News, I'll tell you about a few strategy and building releases, and two games have particularly caught my eye this month. Then there's the Podcast News with a brief evaluation of the first month with the new program, and I answer questions from emails that were sent to me. Finally, as always, there's the tournament preview for July 2025. I hope you enjoy this episode!
