Disclaimer… sorta, but not really
We have to start with a disclaimer because this episode is nerdy and very specific to the online game Forge of Empires. It’s a fun distraction, possibly addicting, and does great at triggering Chris’s OCD. That said, forge forward.

If’ you’re interested in playing with us, here’s Chris’s FOE invite link! It automatically adds you to our friends list so we can help you build and conquer along the way. Plus, he’ll get some in-game diamonds…. We’ll explain later...

Okay, one more disclaimer. When, or should I say if, you decide to play, the mandatory tutorial at the very beginning, though helpful, does take some time. (About a half hour or so) We recommend that you grab your favorite drink and get through it. We’ll be on the other side waiting.

JD and Chris have been playing Forge of Empires for over 12 years. It’s comparable to the game “Sim City” for you millennials. There’s also endless slews of quests involving diplomacy, battling, joining guilds, and trading. The boys talk about all of the mistakes they made at the beginning. They also talk about the early days of age camping and running guilds. They also know what great buildings are essential to make your city powerful as well as discuss the evolution of the game itself which seemingly never ends. Travel with us from the stone, or should I say the stoned age through the iron age as we bring you our first installment of “Stoner Forgecast”
