Also this thumbnail is courtesy of Nemki; we're gonna do some evil science here and do some manual AB thumbnail testing and you all are along for the right. Get wrecked.

So Nemki and I decided that 1.) we both had time to do this and 2.) it would be valuable and 3.) it gives me reasonable cover to keep procrastinating on updating tier lists SO! What are we doing here?

Well, Nemki is the newest addition to our MP group, bringing something like 150 hours of experience or something so far, but his most recent foray into Multiplayer last Sunday was his first real attempt at MP. It's a pretty steep hill to climb, though, especially if you aren't used to doing weird stuff like splitting your stacks up all the time and scouting the fog, so I think playing through the opening of a game with him would be beneficial and fun. Bonus points, we've never really done a strict "How to play Age of Wonders 4" video yet so I think we get to cash that card in here and make people angry it was a live stream instead of something edited. Eat your heart out KALI MA.

I'm going to add time stamps once we're done so that you fine folks can learn along, but given that I have no idea what we're going to end up talking about or when or for how long, doing it ahead of time seems silly. Please don't sue me.
