eXplorminate Needs Your Help!

July 24, 2022 - Rob | 0 Comments

We are eXplorminate, a group of like-minded 4X, strategy, and tactics gamers that live and breathe these genres, and like you, we want to champion these genres for years to come.

It's become clear through our recent poll (find it here) that you guys want to site to remain open. In order to do that, we're going to need to create a foundation of funds to pull from to hire new authors, pay our existing authors, and upgrade our site's infrastructure, and upgrade some of our hardare.

This will allow us to create more content and get eXplorminate back up and running the way we mean it to be running: with timely, well-written, analytical reviews, thought pieces, and more. We also want to return to our roots of being a bit more critical, meaning that we want to have the time and funding to REALLY dive into these games before delivering verdicts, instead of relying on "Day One" reviews that are usually a bit less accurate.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe here:

We have a FANTASTIC interview with Proxy Studios up on our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/eXplorminatepodcast) for our Patrons. Never a better time to support what we do! ZEPHON sounds A MA ZING.

We are actively trying to get more support for what we do. We work SUPER HARD to get this to you guys, so any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED.

That's it. That's the periodic self-promotion. I promise.

Hah I join because its has full series tutorial for playing ROTP. I never got appreciate MOO1 Original because I' m not from that era. But playing ROTP I'm not getting the same respect all gamers do for MOO1 and MOO2. And thanks for explorminate for showing me more about 4X Game. It was really not my type game but somehow their review/gameplay make me interest to this genre
