Hi guys, I took a little break because work is killing me right now, but here's a little episode to keep you entertained! In this newest episode of Masterpieces you'll hear the tale of the longest game 2k+ players have played, even though the word play might be a little bit of a stretch. It's a funny story though and it caught the attention of the whole community and beyond, so it qualifies as eSport history, despite being a ranked game between Rubenstock and Andre. Enjoy!

RedBull Wololo has concluded yesterday and Daniela and I have come together to recap the event. We're talking about all our highlights, the best games from the tournament and try to pinpoint what made this tournament as grand as it was.

Music: Shanty from the event

We are back for another episode of the Age of Empires Magazine and we’ve put together a nice program.

We’ll start off with a recap of T90 Titans League, then there’s the replacement qualifier for RB Wololo Londinium. In addition we’ve got some exciting announcements to talk about: Warlords 5, The League and The Garrison 2 have been announced, despite the new esport calendar not even being published, so the next year is already shaping up to be another excellent year for our scene. We’ll follow up the News with a little interview that Daniela and I did with Chuptaburger, who is a community member and creator in the AoE II scene at night but also a teacher during the day and we’ve invited him to have a little chat about his work, aoe2 and his nomination for being the teacher of the year in the USA. We’ll end the episode with the tournament outlook for April 2026.

Das neue DLC hat uns etwas von der Rangliste ferngehalten. Stattdessen haben wir uns vier anderen Spielen zugewandt: Felix hat wie angekündigt das Remaster von Oblivion und Neon White gespielt, Christian hingegen hat in Darkest Dungeon II reingeschnuppert und Resident Evil Village endlich gespielt. Das heutige Tafelründchen erzählt von vier verschiedenen Spielen, die auf vier verschiedene Weise Spaß machen. Euch wünschen wir viel Spaß beim Spielen!

Welcome back to our final mission from the Muisca campaign, where we follow the story of Pacanchique, a honorable warrior who had served under Nemequene, the leader of the southern Muisca federation and led his army into battle against Quemuenchatocha, the leader of the northern Muisca confederation, who thinks of himself as a god and grows madder by the day. To make matters worse, the Spanish have arrived in 1537 and are hunting for El Dorado, the imaginary golden city which they believe to find where Quemuenchatocha resides. Even a second expedition has arrived, led by a German conquistador called Federman, who is also searching for the golden city. In all of this, there is a love story, because Pacanchique’s love, Azay, is serving under Quemuenchatocha and spying on him to give intel to Pacanchique, so he can stop the madman. Can we save Azay and force the expeditions to retreat?

Once again, we are playing the Muisca campaign of the Last Chieftains DLC and this time around it’s the fourth mission called Son of the Sun. This beautiful title was given, because despite our best efforts to keep the zaque, or leader of the northern Muisca, Quemuenchatocha in check, he has forced the Iraca, the spiritual leader of all the Muisca, to proclaim him the Son of the Sun, which pretty much made him a living god. Our goal is to put a stop to his madness and recapture the Sun Temple. However, a new enemy arrives on the Horizon, from far away across the ocean.

We have returned to south america and to be more precise: with the third scenario of the Muisca Campaign. Once again, we are playing as Pacanchique, a Muisca commander who has sided with Nemequene, Zipa of the southern Muisca Confederation and leading our army in the western borderlands with the mission to pacify the unruly Panche tribes of the region. The northern Muisca are lead by the Zaque called Quemuenchatocha, a powerhungry commander collecting gold in his fortress and he is our main enemy in this campaign so far. By controlling the Panche, we will have more influence over the region and get closer to unifying the Mapuche.Chris

After the first mission, Nemequene was made the new zipa, the leader of the southern Muisca. The bloodthirsty Quemuenchatocha was made the next zaque, leader of the northern Muisca. At the end of the first mission, we, playing as Pacanchique, had to make a choice: continue serving under Quemuenchatocha, who was with no honor, saw Pacanchique as a mere tool and wanted war at all costs but at least I was able to stay with Azay, the love of my life whom I want to marry or... change sides and fight for the south, be a commander for Nemequene, who I consider to be much wiser and more honorable, but that would mean that Pacanchique risked his relationship with Azay. I chose the latter, because I felt like the Protagonist, Pacanchique, would chose so himself. Now we fight the lord we once served!Chris
