**DanQ** · July 27, 2007, 20:34

Twenty plus one! That's the number of the latest PolyCast episode entitled "Goody, Those Huts Are Mine". The 'Interview' segment is revived as Gabriele "Rhye" Travoto answers questions on this "Rhye's and Fall of Civilization" MOD found in the just released Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. Following then in order of appearance are 'News', 'Modcast', 'Senate', 'Workshop' and 'Mailbag' segments.

Returning guest co-host Kenneth "Impaler[WrG]" Ferland completes the core panel with regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Makahlua and Imran "Imran Siddiqui" Siddiqui. Total runtime is 59m:59s (28.7MB).

PolyCast is the official bi-weekly, one-hour podcast of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) in an effort to give the Civ community now an interactive voice. ACS is the first and to date only known Civ fansite to produce its own podcast.

My mod is for Warlords and since Dan and Imran now play on Noble (

), there is no need for a BTS one.

I'm with Dan, that was hard to type, on not building Workers first. I prefer to get some units to go out and get goody huts. Also, I don't want to build a worker until my city has developed some.

Speaking of things being hard to type...

I've been listening to these polycasts since 18 and I have to say, no matter who the person, whether typical poster, mod, or site owner, all pc gamers are still the same. If there are multiple males and one female together, they just can't help themselves, they just have to strut!

Isn't it Imran making most of those jokes?
