This 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.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted - Guest Play with Will Overgard!

We welcome Will Overgard to Guest Play by making him think and talk seriously about his job as a Community Manager while he's being hunted by robots. Accurate simulation, perhaps?

Yeah, Will is *definitely* the crazy uncle type :D

This was a fantastic Extra Play, I can wait another day for Lies with this as a more than suitable replacement.

Will we find out what happened during the battle after Suleiman died?

Nice, while being hunted, do you have a limited time before the components stop smoking?

I 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.

So, 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.

You 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.

Very 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.

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