DELAYED! Early Access - Suleiman Lies
Added 2016-04-22 08:37:25 +0000 UTCThis Lies episode is a long one, and our editor has been working on it late into the night for several nights - but it's time for us to send her to bed! Sorry folks, but Lies won't be ready until tomorrow evening.
In the meantime, we hope you'll enjoy this slightly early access to a gameplay session Dan recently recorded with our good Extra Friend, Will Overgard. Formerly of Creative Assembly, Will was one of the people who helped make the Punic Wars series happen, and is thus partially responsible for Extra History existing in the first place! I guess that doesn't quite make him a founding father of the show, but maybe... more like an uncle? Yeah. Like a crazy uncle.

That was a fun episode of extra play. Very much coolness. And that game looks WAAAAY too hard for this kitty. >0.0<

2016-04-23 01:27:33 +0000 UTCVery much this. Lies videos are always a crunch for us (basically, we have less than a week to get the video ready) but there was a lot of what I would call meta-discussion to be had with this one.

Extra History
2016-04-22 20:51:55 +0000 UTCYou mean the pieces of The Device, right? I don't think so - I'm sure they always smoke to reveal their location, and I don't believe they ever get moved. Except by you, of course.

2016-04-22 20:23:02 +0000 UTCI'm glad you liked it! We'll still try to get Lies up as soon as we can. <3

2016-04-22 20:19:31 +0000 UTCSo, facepalm on that one. We WERE going to - it was in the notes - but in recording, we somehow skipped over that section and never noticed. I was thinking I might post a Wikipedia link or something when Lies is ready, but until then, I'll fill in the gaps! After Suleiman died, the battle was won. His death was kept a secret until his body could be returned to Istanbul, to ensure that power transferred safely to Selim II. Fun side note, though! Another Patreon, who goes by Chamboozer on here (I'd tag him if Patreon let me), tells me that Suleiman's organs were buried where he died and a mausoelum constructed on top of them. That tomb then became a site of pilgrimage, but it was destroyed in the 1680s. A Hungarian historian just uncovered the remains of what we believe to be that mausoleum last December, and excavation (which will hopefully confirm it!) began this month.

2016-04-22 20:18:57 +0000 UTCI guess this may be the downside of the storytelling format you took for the Suleiman videos. It allowed for some poweful narrative moments - buuut more lies that have to be talked about.

2016-04-22 20:12:47 +0000 UTCNice, while being hunted, do you have a limited time before the components stop smoking?

2016-04-22 20:00:49 +0000 UTCWill we find out what happened during the battle after Suleiman died?

2016-04-22 16:00:04 +0000 UTCThis was a fantastic Extra Play, I can wait another day for Lies with this as a more than suitable replacement.

2016-04-22 10:37:29 +0000 UTCYeah, Will is *definitely* the crazy uncle type :D
