      One of the reason why they use lasguns, not bullet weapon - not only not shipping bullets ease logistical nightmare that existence of Astra Militarum is, but 10 000 people shooting one heavily armored target with lasguns can actually destroy it just by overheat. That trick is not work with bullets, no amount of bullets can penetrate bulletproof armor of tank or fancy chaos spacemarine champion.

The samurai had as well transferred from a warrior class to a managerial class, as there was very little use for warriors. Daimyos had small, personal retinues, but all actual armies that were actually gathered consisted overwhelmingly of pressed levies with almost no experience, training or formal leadership at all.

      @@VictorrineAurum yep, got curious to try this strategy (as a Shogunate faction) and I'm already remembering why I fucking hated Shogun 2 legendary runs. Early game money issues, Imperial armies running with SIX YARI KATCHI AND THREE YARI KI (plus general and a few levy inf/matchlock) by turn 10, etc.
      Also, when Grim was talking about the tax-public order reset, I was thinking to myself that I remember that actually causes more problems because it cuts into your town tax over time as people move away from the crushing taxes.
      I don't remember if the math actually ends up working out for the better on that deal but if your run gets stalled (which it easily can in my experience) you get screwed.

    Spear levies are actually pretty powerful as long as you don't modernize too much. At the lowest level of modernization they start out with enough experience to allow them to tear an enemy line apart if they're screened with normal levy infantry to let them survive to make contact. They can just snowball from there.

  • @TheGrimKleaper
    @TheGrimKleaper  3 месяца назад +33

    So I keep getting comments about the whole tax thing at around 14:40
    *puts on accountant glasses*
    There exists something called a "Crossover point". That is, the point at which low/normal taxes overtakes very high taxes in income gain. EVENTUALLY this does occur, but even later is the point at which low taxes generate the same total wealth as high taxes. So if the crossover point is turn 30, it still takes another 30 turns for the low tax rate to generate the same TOTAL amount of money.
    Now this is all great and cool, so you might say, "BUT MISTER GRIM KEPLER, A TURN 30 OR 60 CROSSOVER POINT ISN'T THAT LONG AKSHUSKLLLY".
    Here's the problem. *This doesn't take into account the opportunity cost of having low vs high taxes.*
    Lower taxes = slower money gain = less armies, cities, and buildings earlier
    Higher taxes = more money faster = more armies, cities, and buildings faster
    This is a financial concept sometimes referred to as "The Time Value of Money" or "The Cost of Capital". Money now, is always more valuable than money later, because you can invest that money now into armies, cities, and buildings faster. By getting the money sooner, you can invest the money sooner, thus allowing you to procure EVEN MORE MONEY sooner as well.
    More armies, cities, and buildings faster = more money faster = more armies, cities...
    While in the long term a growth based income overtakes a non-growth one at SOME POINT, it's just too late to make a difference in Shogun 2 FOTS, ESPECIALLY when I'm playing a run that uses levies. The longer the game goes on, the more I get outscaled by better tech units, meaning I want to end the game faster.
    And the best way to end the game faster...
    IS TO MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY FASTER
    tldr: i shat myself and am covered in poo. AITA?

    Something silly I found out ages ago, in the main campaign if you play as the Otomo clan you start with master gunners, boosted religious conversion, and most importantly, Christianity. Since no one else is christian, you can use your priests to inspire christian rebels in _anyone's_ land, enemy or ally. Christian rebellions *immediately* take over the land, have awful garrison units, and no allies. So you can immediately curb stomp your own rebellion to conquer land without declaring war.

    The reason your allies want an alliance is because you cost them hundreds of men to take Setsuma, but you TOOK SETSUMA. Their original plan was to lose several hundred men to take Setsuma and then FAIL to take Setsuma, so they definitely consider that your win.

    This one time when I was playing laser tag, I was put on a team of prepubescent children when the other team was made up of people around my age group, and most of them were varsity athletes. The only saving grace is that my team outnumbered the other team by almost 2:1 and even the youngest of the children were smart enough to point the gun in the right direction, mostly. I ended up smoking the ever-loving shit out of the enemy team by having double the points of anyone else due to my teammates stunlocking literally all of the enemy team most of the time while I achieved all the objectives. Quantity truly has a quality all its own.

      The symbol is a sign of good luck on whatever is put on it, as per the religion. ninja stars were sometimes made in that design to give literal good luck to the weapon itself.
