This is going to allow us to perfectly balance Total War Rome and find a way to beat the game in just 12 turns! How can we conquer 50 settlements and rome in just 12 turns? Well with the power of infinite money, AI bugs and free land exploits anything is possible!

      Trying to do an inflation adjustment for that far back in history is really not a great idea. The economy, relative prices of goods, cost of living, etc. were so completely different from today. Usually, historians do monetary comparison between the distant past and present by talking about how many days/months/years worth of a certain category of worker's wages an item or service would cost.

    • @sammosaurusrex
      @sammosaurusrex 2 роки тому +78

      It’s especially hilarious if you’ve played the original Rome TW - there diplomacy is totally useless. Factions will practically always attack, never accept ceasefires unless they’re completely thrashed or you don’t share a land border, and will straight up violate alliances if you don’t have strong enough border garrisons - alliances that were basically useless anyways, since even if you offer them money your allies will tell you to get fucked if you ever ask for their assistance in a war effort.
      The new diplomacy was meant to be a (needed) fix, where breaking treaties has consequences for how factions view you, and you can build sturdier, trusting relationships with allies. Too bad it didn’t even really fix it (allies will still violate treaties with glee) and, apparently, overcorrected factions into accepting stupid bad deals

      Thing is, it's not even a bug. A bug is when a flaw in the code means that certain actions causes the game to glitch and do unintended things. These usually cant be foreseen and need to be tested to be found and fixed.
      This is much worse, since it's just a poorly thought-through feature that was not properly implemented. They clearly did no work whatsoever to make sure that the AI could use the new feature. They just put it in the game, but clearly did not bother to put in any restrictions on what the AI will accept. This is not a bug, it's just lazy incompetence.

      Yeah calling an exploited feature from a pre-release game "incompetence" is ignoring how they purposely let play testers do this shit at all so they can test it out before it's official release. The main issue with Compensation is it working at all at the start of the campaign when all factions start off neutral so therefore a fix should be made to make it useless at the start until you go to war and get a faction to make a ceasefire and make it less likely to get compensation unless you are stronger than them.

      @@dubuyajay9964 Mansa Musa you mean? One of the supposed richest men in all of history, but I am one to press X to doubt, but of those in the highest bracket of pre-modern times, he was probably one of the people who could flaunt it the most. He was an African warlord who had a kingdom, and once on a pilgrimage he had lines for like a year of gold and servants, and all manner of splendor, that shocked the europeans and foreigners he came across, with fabulous tales of his wealth. Perhaps he was even one of perhaps the top 5 wealthiest people alive in his day.
      But consider the other options. Emperor's, or like Caesar here that I mention. Mansa Musa got a lot of his wealth from his near total control of his kingdom, which he could take the wealth he generated from as his, because in the large sense, it was. But what if another leader like Caesar has the same ego, and decided to build up such a procession of wealth? I have no doubt they could have managed something similar. But their drug was more in power and authority, and wealth secondary. Though, they did amass all the wealth possible, but not necessarily to all be carried around like that.
      It does remind me a bit of the pharoah's here. The wealth and power of the pharaoh's built the pyramids, and the greatest one who died and had that pyramid... That is a symbol perhaps, of how they might even eclipse both. But it isn't seen as the same wealth of Mansa Musa, because it was not an 'everlasting line of gold, servants, and splendor'. Which is a really, really inaccurate way to figure out who exactly is the most wealthy individuals in history. But he certainly was one of the ones who could perhaps show it off the best, and left a lot of people with gaping mouths. While others simply made the marvels from their wealth, so that people gaped at the marvels themselves, from their wealth. Understand the difference I am getting at?
