I can't tell if the money accumulation would make a lot of deflation or the opposite
1 gold for 40 men every 3 months.
That's .33 gold for 40 men... or basically a grain of rice.
Whats the calculation for the 1 gold coin? I got 1 but only after 31.25 years so i might have missed something.
3 gold for 120 men, 120/3 = 1 gold per 40 men per 3 months. 1/3 = .33 per month for 40 men.
I don't want to do .33/40.
@@tyler89557
3 gold per 120 men. 3/120=0.025 per man per season
there are 4 seasons. 0.025x4=0.1
So yeah 1 gold per 10 years since 0.1x10=1
Your method of calculating gold per 40 men is a bit convoluted but works too. Must have fucked up on my end before.

Thank you once again for reminding me that every game in existence is perfectly balanced and has no exploits. Really makes my day
769 I can’t like but I’ll comment
The soldiers in the Mad Lads probably just got paid in IOU's. Then the general sends in the dudes with the highest IOU's first so they die and he doesnt have to pay them.
Bitconneeeeeect
Almost sounds like a fiat system of globalist usury.. oh wait
In Medieval times, a Spanish king more or less did that. He had borrowed money from various lords, who were also fighting in the army. Those lords were often sent first into battle, if they died the king didn't have to pay them back what he owed.
Fuck dude, that's honestly what happened during the crisis years, at least with the debt to the legionaries.
Or slaves... land too.
Can you reduce their upkeep enough to make them pay you though?
I was going to ask this!! Please Spiff!!
There's a cap on upkeep reductions of 100%, so even if you somehow managed to stack more than 100% in upgrades it'll still never have negative upkeep.
STONKS!
😂
In Rome state pays you for service in the army. In Soviet Rome you pay the state.
Imagine fighting for your life in the roman army and once every month your commander gives your whole unit of 120 men with families to support one single golden coin
Modern capitalism as filtered through traditional capitalism.
it would take 360 months for one soldier to earn 1 gold. That's 30 years!
@@gingernytemare ...Wouldn't it only take 120 months?
@@delta3244 yep you're right, I forgot it was 3 gold per season, so 1 a month. Not 1 gold a season
They do all the work and create more and more profit while getting paid less and less... sounds familiar!
26:30 If we assume the "gold" per turn is the Roman Aureus then that means at fifteen aurei per season for the unit, each man is receiving a little over three denarii a season, totalling twelve and a half denarius per year. You later lower this to three gold per turn, which comes out to about two and a half denarius per year per soldier. Before any upkeep drops the ninety gold per turn comes out to seventy-five denarius a year. (This is all assuming that everyone in the unit is being paid the same wages instead of officers being paid significantly more than regular soldiers, of course.)
For comparison, historically Roman legionaries could expect to be paid one hundred and twelve and a half denarii per year, later doubled this to two hundred and twenty five denarii a year by Julius Caesar. Furthermore each soldier had to pay for their daily rations from their own pay, and prior to the Marian reforms (in Rome 2 represented by the transition away from Hastati-Principes-Triarii units to Legionary Cohort units) also had to purchase their own weapons and armor before even enlisting.
It's true however that Roman soldiers typically supplemented their income through looting and selling slaves, and you did do a lot of conquering and enslaving captives. That being said your auxiliaries are still criminally underpaid and NOT PAYING YOUR AUXILIARIES IS EXACTLY WHY ROME FELL, SPIFFICUS ROMULUS AUGUSTULUS.

You have drastically overthought this through.
@@jchrist5410 Oh hush, this is great.
@@callusklaus2413No it isn't. The game's one of the most basic strategy games in existence. There's no point in trying to make it something it isn't. It has a simple upkeep value which is inherently basic so just looking further into it is useless and irrelevant.
Irrelevance is not great.

Clausewitz said that amateurs study tactics while masters study logistics. Total War: Rome II, the Clausewitz edition.
That is Total War in general. Their games are the most simplistic of strategy games. Paradox is a good step up in complexity and AGEOD is another step up, especially with their supply system!
@@jchrist5410 You're comparing apples and oranges. The main appeal in Total War is the real time strategy component. It's not trying to be Hearts of Iron/Europa Universalis/whatever.
@@Elintasokas Yeah, the whole reason Spiff is able to do nonsense like this is that the 4X side of Total War is deliberately a bit underdeveloped. It's meant to be a delivery system for the cool RTS battles, not the main appeal.
and gods study how to be an accountant
Yeah, except Clausewitz never said that.
I remember back in the day, when I played this before Empire edition, I was playing Carthage, I was having a hard campaign. Rome actually just sent a bunch of dudes on boats to attack my capital while I was expanding elsewhere. I had only a tiny garrison. I was like "Oh, well, it's lost, but let's see what happens."
Start up battle, load in map. Sit there, wait for romans.
....Apparently they all converted to pacifism or all of their leadership simultaneously had strokes or summat, because they did nothing. For 40 minutes.
Next turn the same thing happened. I decided I was done with Rome 2 for a bit.
Same here. Wtf happened?! I even took all my garrison and fired fire arrow to their boat which make them eventually come landed and of course i've lost the battle with a tiny garrison army. How to solve this?!
Even the British thought they were barbaric before tea proven by the spiffing brit

There is a reason the biggest business in the uk is financial services.

AI does something stupid.
Spif: “well it appears the AI has done something interesting”
And it's Rome 2 so that happens a lot
It's the british way of calling out stupid
The British are trying to be polite about their enemies idiocy lol
Rome 2's AI has two types of actions. Stupid and breathtakingly stupid.
"How are we even going to lose 2% of our army" The traditional British way is to get drunk and either get lost, have a brawl with the locals outside the pub or discover Australia.
If it was australia it wouldn't only be 2 percent

while ensuring that no one has time to become a veteran
It's almost what Rome actually did, the senate got army after army of landed citizens killed, and bought their land for cheap.
That's why they removed the requirement of owning land in the Marian reforms, no one left was willing to enlist.
Its also how they equipped all the new soldiers, they gave them the gear that was left by the fallen on the battlefields.

@@Stillvisual What British empire ;) ....lol
Well we are still talking about it so...
@@bretginn1419 That sweet reference...
9:12 this reminds me of my Rome campaign when I approached an important enemy city with a huge army. The enemy faction ABANDONED the city by moving their army into the desert where it began to suffer attritional losses due to them being stuck in the desert. Of course naturally I then attacked the city and auto resolved the fight as it was an easy victory against the remaining garrison. If the army had of stayed in the city it would’ve been a pretty tough fight to defeat them especially with the huge city walls and strong defences. The AI in this game is NUTS
I have seen this, but I have also seen the AI performing extremely well. Kush really gave me a run for my money, since they have good scripts to use the desert in their advantage. For instance, they can advance in Forced March through the desert without attrition and threat several cities of yours at once, even advancing to Egypt if the AI knows that it cannot defeat you but tries to annoy as much as possible.
I remember entering in Southern Egypt with a single army, capturing Meroe, and then realising that I would need at least 3 armies to defend and attack at once, given the mobility of the army and the distances from one settlement to the other.
I've also had great tactic wars against the Nomads, it's like they're better scripted whereas Greeks, Carthage Easterns, Celts and Rome perform like idiots usually.
As Pergamon I sped across Anatolia, and when I reached Cappodacia, which had been previously subjugated by the now cityless Pontus, I declared and they then moved their two armies to Galatia, who I’d made my client state through pure diplomacy. I easily conquered their city and they lost half their army from attrition before I attacked them and crushed them. AI is stupid.
@@Phoen1xGen I did a World-Dom run as Rome and the only real trouble I had was with slave uprisings and rebellions as I expanded far too quickly.

When this game first came out I was on the phone with one of my buddies for like two hours. I was playing as Bactria and was drinking while playing it. I somehow managed to blackout from drinking so much, oops 🤷🏻♂️, woke up the next day loaded up the game and I somehow conquered all of the Middle East, all of Northern Africa, Greece Italy, Gaul, Germania, Iberian peninsula, and was on my way to invaded Britannia 😂 I have no recollection of this whatsoever.

I just like to think Your commander runs up to a settlement, Sword in hand and raises it to swing then stops, Rolls some dice on the ground and they both look at the dice just for your commander to just yell "HA" And stab him after the result.
Excellent video! Personally, my favorite way to play that feels a little exploity is as Carthage, where (similar to your methods) you spec up a Diplomat-type character to reduce upkeep, pick the Barcids who reduce Mercenary upkeep, and work on Tech/Army/General skills to further reduce Mercenary upkeep. Add in that Carthage has some of the best most diverse Mercenaries in the game, and you're rocking Numidian Noble Cavalry (Excellent missile/melee cav), Mercenary Noble Fighters (Excellent top-tier melee infantry), and Balearic Slingers (Top-tier skirmishers) along with whatever regional Mercenaries you want... All for like 18 or 25 gold per turn. These elite Mercenary armies are literally cheaper than your militia infantry per unit, it's so glorious!
"Spear Chod" is amazing, definitely going to be the new term I use for any shitty-tier spearman in total war games.

In Rome it was quite common that soldiers bought their own gear, so as they server the Army longer and got older, with their wages they bought better equipment. That was the way they moved up the ranks:)

That was incredible. Now I have to go play some more Rome 2.
That unit upkeep cost isn't just the soldiers' pay. It's also cost of equipment, food (unless you force your troops to buy their own food), and all the other logistical needs of fielding them.
Likely those troops would have been augmenting their meager incomes by looting like crazy whenever you took a city, which they'd have been doing anyway.
'And our empire has grown into an imperium.'
My Roman heart bleeds.
Historically accurate: The legions were paid in salt whenever gold ran out.
Nathan Gamble so were the Carthaginians
French Guitar Guy what carthaginians? Do you mean that pile of sand in North Africa?
Are you sure? This sounds like shite considering that salt has never cost much per kilo whatsoever. They weren't paid in salt but received a ration of salt
Salt is where its at historically
I think people get value and price confused, salt has always been extremely valuable for nutrition and cooking but has pretty much never been scarce or hard to come by, hence it has never been expensive
3 gold per 120 men per season.
Sooo each man gets 3 / 120 = 0.025 gold per season, or 0.008333 gold per month. This means that each man gets payed 1 gold every (1 gold / (0.008333 gold / month)) = 120 months. Or, in other words, each man gets one gold piece per 10 YEARS!
each man gets the equivalent of the modern day 450 dollars (8 grams of gold
under Augustus) per 10 years.
I love how the reason they removed the ability to individually add units to armies was to get rid of the movement bug and they still didn't get rid of the movement bug and now the game is worse in order to fix a bug they didn't fix. Brilliant work CA.
OMG, this is so.. incredible! I played Rome 2 in completely wrong way!

Lol, "Tried to be Rome 1 but failed catastrophically", my respect for the words of wisdom.
You can't simply try to be Rome 1.
But man, the Campaign AI in Rome 2 is so bad. It was never smart in any TW games before, but those antics are just hilarous.
At least Rome 2 has something that can be called an AI. Have you ever played Empire: Total War? I remember playing an entire campaign with every major power at war with each other since turn 3 and yet the only province taken by the AI was Marroco (taken by France by abusing an exploit that sometimes makes the Berbers give you a province for a peace deal even if you never fought them). Even the natives were left untouched and when the USA declared independence, the remaining thirteen Colonies simply ignored them and so did the US.
Looking back, I don't know what made me play the game that long.
@@3st3st77 Haha, never played Empire, but I heard many good things about it. And by good things I mean how terrible it is. As far as I've heard it may have been even worse than Rome 2 release state (which was terrible).
I've played Shogun 1, Rome 1, Medieval 2, and Shogun 2 and at least AI was decent there. Well, unless you use mods - then AI starts freaking out - like sending a faction leader on a suicide mission against your garrisons. Man, fun times lol.
Can I point out that, in the time, the worth of a gold coin was incredibly high, so it's actually pretty historically correct. Also, lots of the soldiers were paid in land and slaves (which the game does not visually include of course).
15:34 Carthage has no money to pay its troops. Probably the most historically accurate thing the series has ever managed.
AVE!!!! also great video and i suggest you try to find exploits in total war napoleon
commissar karis venner the challenge is that he actually has to play as France.
preposterous!
I literally autoresolved this Game in every campaign 😂
Worked well if you didnt chose the germanic tribes.
Yeah auto resolve is literally based on melee defence and damage so if you have a spear men heavy army you can overtake the whole of Europe
@sum body Yeah that's the issue with auto-resolves in later TW games : it's way too effective, wich doesn't incentivise fighting battles where you have greater numbers.
@@Knoloaify Play on Legendary first. And then launch an Total war Warhammer II campain. Autoresolv isn't that effective, except if you intend to die.
Spiffing, according to Wikipedia the Empire never ended. It just changed it's name
The math is actually worse for paydays if you're not using mods. Sure the seasons change every turn, but 4 turns isn't one year, one turn is closer to 15 months since a year goes by every turn as well. So that fraction of a gold piece the Mad Lads get to take home is more than a years pay.
Best strategy for this game is to play as a Mediterranean faction, and utilize ballista ships in conjunction with land armies to shatter land armies that are resting behind walls. It works to the extent that its like a cheat code.
.....Its funny really. Spif played the game just like how Rome played the Mediterranean because essentially this is how Rome conquered their lands and made their empire. Very high income with very low maintenance but well equipped/highly trained auxiliary legions.
As they conquered their lands it just enabled them to just keep creating more and more auxiliary legions using the conquered peoples which bolstered their might further and kept bolstering their economy which strengthened their armies even further and a sort of loopback effect.
dear game devs this is why you DONT add percentages from buffs you use multiplicative percentages ....
No because we NEED this.

27:55 14 Gold coins shared by 120 as Yearly Payment 😂 😂 😂
Spiff: look at your map of the British empire
Me: *looks at map of the world* close enough
I do not think you can get -100% upkeep reduction. The percenteges are not added and then applied, instead they are applied each separately. So -10% is -10% of current cost after other reductions.
So -50%, is in fact multiplication by 0.5. -20% is multiplication by 0.8. -10% is multiplication by 0.9. In total it is 0.5*0.8*0.9 = 0.36, aka -64%, no -70%.
Better example: -50% and -50%, add up to 0.5*0.5 = 0.25, aka -75%. Not -100%.
