    Three Moves Ahead 616: The Future of Anbennar and EU5

    Three Moves Ahead 616: The Future of Anbennar and EU5

    Len, Lorris, and Lambert sat down with JayBean, the creator of the popular Anbennar fantasy total conversion mods for Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 3, and Victoria 3. We asked him what he's most excited about from what we've seen of EU5 so far, what changes he might make to the mod with these new systems, and how Paradox Tinto can better support the modding community.

    Three Moves Ahead 615: Homeworld 3

    Three Moves Ahead 615: Homeworld 3

    Len, Luke, and Ian warp in to discuss Homeworld 3, a space strategy sequel more than two decades in the making. We discuss its use of space terrain, the more intimate storytelling in the campaign, the co-op Wargames mode, and what it has and hasn't preserved from its pantheonic predecessors.

    Three Moves Ahead 614: To Four Hours... And Beyond! (EU5 Megacast 3 Preview)

    This is a free preview of this month's Patreon episode. Check out the extended version at Patreon.com/3ma!

    Len, Lambert, and Lorris are here to explore the question of how long a podcast about an unreleased game can be before someone in our lives physically intervenes. We not only have Tinto Talks and the Johan Files to cover, but now Tinto Maps, Saturday Buildings, and the Pavía Papers. There was actually more news about EU5 this month than there ever has been in a 30-day period about any previous Paradox game.

    Three Moves Ahead 613: Total War Warhammer 3: Thrones of Decay

    Len and Rowan are joined by Nathan from the YouTube channel The Great Book of Grudges to discuss the Thrones of Decay patch, Creative Assembly's apology tour, and the state of Immortal Empires in 2024. Rowan grapples with why Warhammer 3 just isn't doing it for her, Nathan marvels at the current contentment of the community, and Len chews a hole in a shirt.

    Three Moves Ahead 612: Manor Lords

    Three Moves Ahead 612: Manor Lords

    Len, Ian, and Jon are joined by our official unofficial historical consultant, Dr. Bret Devereaux, to discuss Manor Lords. We clear up what it is and what it isn't, how it portrays the historical realities of medieval burgage, and how Early of an Early Access game it really is.

    Three Moves Ahead 611: Going the Distance (EU5 Megacast 2 Preview)

    Three Moves Ahead 611: Going the Distance (EU5 Megacast 2 Preview)

    This is a free preview of this month's Patreon episode. Check out the extended version at Patreon.com/3ma!

    Len, Lambert, and Lorris are back to discuss the next four Europa Universalis V dev diaries and The Johan Files, an edited compilation of all of Johan's relevant forum posts that has more than doubled in size since we last talked. We decided to call it at four hours, but still had plenty more to talk about, so it seems like the Megacast format isn't going anywhere any time soon...
