Since a lot of people here will be new to the series, we decided to do a little Let's Play on our Twitch channel tomorrow at 20:00 CET (14:00 EST) So join us tonight for another Surturrific Stream, as we take a look at Alea Jacta Est, the Ageod game set during the time of the Roman Civil Wars. During this stream, Surtur will guide you through one of the scenarios in game as he covers the gameplay and strategy basics. Any newcomer to the series is advised to watch, as this stream is aimed to teach you how to jump into the game as quickly as possible! For Ageod veterans however, there is also reason to join. Not only will they be able to give Surtur some (much needed?) pointers, but Ageod designer Philippe Thibaut will also be joining us in the Twitch chat and will be at your service! If you cannot make it, we will also be sure to put the VOD on youtube. The stream will be available here. Cheers, Surtur
