We got two episodes of the Blood & Pigment Podcast for you today! Really it’s one episode and a bonus short(er) episode.
Blood & Pigment Podcast Episode 9
In this special episode, Joseph and Jason host a roundtable discussion on the 2024 Summer of Plunder with (nearly) all the Commanders and 2nd in Commands for the 6 nations participating in the campaign this year.
Episode 9 – Roundtable Chat with 2024 Summer of Plunder Commanders
Each commander is asked how the campaign felt for them, what they focused on in their national chats, and why players should fight for them next year. Then we have a bit of open time for interaction and review of the diplomacy aspect of the campaign before touching on some possible changes for Summer of Plunder, 2025. Congratulations to the Dutch, led by Matthew Doerr this year for winning the campaign this year!

Blood & Pigment Podcast Episode 9.1
The Native American team did really well this year, led by rookie Commander Bartosz Nowicki. Bartosz wasn’t able to get in on the big recording and Brent was able to step in and represent the Natives and provide some great insight. But we had to sneak in a interview with Bartosz as well, so here in Episode 9.1, Joseph talks with Bartosz as he shares some more insight on how the campaign went from the Native Commander’s perspective. And yes, Joseph is biased towards the Natives. 🙂
Episode 9.1 – Summer of Plunder Debrief with Bartosz, Commander of Native American Team
The Natives got a little flak for not playing as expected or responding in kind of diplomatic overtures in episode 9. Bartosz gets to tell his side of the story here.
ONE MORE SoP Video Coming!
Summer of Plunder is over, but we have one more video coming soon. Join us in the upcoming video as Joseph and Jason go over the excellent feedback from the SoP Player Survey. Coming as soon as we get it edited!
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches, giving tips for both playing a Swarm or an Elite force and playing against a swarm or an elite force.
