Age of Advent, Week 1 Recap & Week 2 Announcement

Hello all!

We're already a whole week into December (or at least in Japan we are), which means the first week of Age of Advent has already wrapped up!*

Age of Advent is an advent calendar with randomized civilization/strategy pairings for you to try out. A new pairing opens every day, just like an advent calendar. The link is below if you want to try these out yourself!

Admittedly, week 1 saw some pretty typical plays (except Day 6), but here's a recap:

Day 1: Teutons, Smush

Day 2: Portuguese, clothed drush FC (this led to a 4v4 on Arena with 12 Portuguese Militia attacking a gate at 10 minutes in...)

Day 3: Japanese, no Stable units

Day 4: Byzantines, archer line only (I got douched by a Celts player when I did this one and somehow managed to win despite disastrously losing my starting TC)

Day 5: Britons, 5 TC boom before clicking up to Imperial Age

Day 6: Huns, Fish Traps are the only source of food income after Dark Age

Day 7: Mayans, no Siege Workshop units allowed

Again, if you have any particularly interesting/funny/well-played games that you would like to have cast live, please feel free to message me directly and I don't mind doing so on my Twitch channel or for a YouTube upload.

Furthermore, now that there are 7 days and 7 different strategies, I definitely recommend trying these out with your friends in a team game! It probably won't be an ideal composition, but man is it fun.

Week 2 is where the fun begins for some of the more unusual civ/strat pairings, so bookmark the calendar and try to check it every day. I haven't attempted Days 5, 6, or 7 yet, so I'll probably give it a go this evening.

Glhf, everyone!*This was an unintentional Christmas pun.
