  • Hello There Ladies And Gentlemen. Today we are playing a brand new game stratergy game called Imperator Rome. Like all new releases, the game is a treasure trove of exploits and glitches just waiting to be used by The Spiffing Brit for your entertainment. Today I will be using a glitch in the events system of the game to show you how to create infinite population, manpower, gold and mana points. This is the latest release from the people who brought us Crusader Kings 2 and Europa Universalis 4 and Hearts of Iron 4.
    This video is going to be packed with funny clips in a montage style of british humor!
    If you enjoyed this then check out my other 100 stat man videos!
    It is also rather similar to Robbaz , Valefisk and RT Game in style of content!
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Imperator Rome challenge!

    0:41 "Tomato Man"' is none other than Julius Caesar. The scene depicts his Triumph, which he was awarded for defeating the Gauls. A Triumph tradition was to paint the face of the commander red in order to imitate the red-painted face of the statue of Jupiter.

      If you don't have a dedicated graphics card you might have some trouble with the newer games but anything old should be fine, and fairly cheap. GoG has quite a few of them for a few bucks or less, and given they were made in 2010 or earlier they run on almost anything.

      @JustaGuy_Gaming Před 4 lety +8

      In paradox's case I don't really think they care. They have great idea's but their coding and game design is a bit suspect. That and they seem to publish several games a year, with a relatively small studio. I love what they put out but it always seems like games are released broken with very little content and instead of fixing it they move on to new projects or DLC for the game. DLC that often is more about making the base game feature complete, instead of actually building upon a complete game.
      One of the biggest examples I've played is Surviving Mars. The base game of that was so empty and it took several DLC's and a few mods to make it a decent game imo.

    • @zartron1

Just thousands of ancient Swedes exploding out of a space the size of a telephone booth and raining down on the countryside.

    This reminds me of a game I played as Carthage where I decided to pull out all the stops and develop the city of Carthage as high as I possibly could. Lo and behold it didn't take me all that long to realize that it was possible to get an infinite population cap if you invested in the provincial infrastructure thing that increases the population limit of aqueducts by 2.5% per. Stack enough of those and you'll reach a point where building an aqueduct, which requires 10 population in the city for any building, yields 10 or more population limit. Suddenly the population that can fit in that city is unbounded as you can just keep building more aqueducts to your hearts content. Using the historical max population of the city of Rome and my game's city of Rome to compare it to, I had built up the city of Carthage to over 5 million people with each of its suburbs having over 1 million people each. This is bigger than the city of Beijing until the 20th century (1935ish or somewhere in the late 1950s), bigger than Shanghai until 1950ish, and bigger than any other historical city of its time by a factor of 5 or more.
    Carthage was producing so many dyes that I saturated the world's dyes market and still had more that I was willing to export but nobody actually wanted any.

    Here is a genuine question: Is there ACTUALLY a "perfectly balanced game?"
    And Paradox games don't count when more then 600$ of DLC are needed to achieve it.

    I am a American that does nothing but drink tea. A couple months back I was watching videos about Rome total war (drinking Earl gray tea my preferred tea) when you Tea obsessed Monster destroyed game. Your commentary is amazing you’re style of video is very unique and I have always liked how you address your community. Keep up the good work if they ever kick you off of CZcams I’ll chase you down and watch your videos consider me subscribe for life☺️

    I:R is the worst paradox in recent memory honestly. 61% reviews on steam are negative, of course. Quite sad as I'll admit I expected very little and was still disappointed :(

      It's a paradox game. I knew before it was even announced that it's best to leave it a month or 2 after release before even bothering to look at it. By that time it should be pretty solid.

      @@korenn9381 Honestly? Other paradox games I played at launch were much better than I:R. I scaled my expectations so low they were underground. It's not like Im unfamiliar with paradox games.
      If anything, It will take a year or three for the game to get to ok or good. The paradox community also quite dislikes the game if steam reviews are anything to go by. And we all know the majority of people that would buy a grand strategy game, or even a strategy game, would be paradox fans who are used to this sort of thing. Heck I'd imagine over 95% to 99% of sales are due to folk who play paradox titles. So people are used to it, but still shit on the game for being awful. The base game isn't lacking: Its bad.

      @@korenn9381 Strange, I wasnt burned by CK2, hoi4 or eu4 at least. HoI4 was the worst of the bunch at launch but the base was good enough and the game was fun enough to show potential so no complaints there.
      While I:R is just extremely boring. It does remind me of launch Vic2 which was complete and utter trash but became god tier with DLC. So its not unheard of for trash to become gold.
