Mentioned in Dispatches, Season 5 Episode 12 – Space 4X-iness

27 November 2020 ~ Semi-permanent-occasional-as-needed co-host Ed McMahon BBMike is back to shepherd a pair of MiD rookies through our discussion of the space 4X genre.  Sam and Pascale dial into our discussion for a far-ranging conversation about what’s good & bad in the space 4X world(s).  It’s the penultimate episode of Season 5, and it’s here for your holiday weekend enjoyment. Don’t forget, you can always catch up with past episodes on the “podcast” tab of our site. What do we like?  What don’t we like?  Who’s got a great technology program?  What innovative aliens scared you?  Who’s setting the standard today, and who disappoints?  What Star Trek 4X game is actually MOO3?  Are historical 4X games just the planetary-development part of a space 4X game?  Can you get a good 4X experience on the tabletop?  What about in an MMO?  And which one of those questions do we not even mention throughout the episode?  You tell us! If you get a chance, please go hit the iTunes page for our podcast and give us a rating – whatever you think is fair!  We need some more reviews before iTunes will start recommending us in their podcast engine, so every rating helps! We appreciate you checking out Mentioned in Dispatches!  Please leave us some feedback either in the comment area below, or in our discussion forum.  You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube…
