@@KriegerT Somewhat. It's based on amount of pops and pop happiness.

@@ZechsMerquise73 In English, sure (like the English pronunciation of Macedonia). I'm pretty sure ancient Greek didn't have a soft C pronunciation though.
Drew its called Byzantion (Byzantium) because that is the name of the city. It existed before the Romans and after them. The Byzantine Empire is known as such because Byzantion (Byzantium, Constantinople) was the capital, that's what the nice little city is.
storrooo Nope, and it was renamed Constantinople by Constantine the Great... so yeah there wasn’t a actual important city called Byzantion in the Roman Empire, it only got great after it got renamed
Dunno if u gonna read this Drew, but if u wanna.. spectate on Imperator again, don't just look at the 'Score board'. It only takes Expansion and pop happiness into account and divides it by a starting position divider. So if u start with 1 tile but u explode, u gonna be first. There is however a ledger that is showing pops, tiles, military strength and so on, and I think u should look at that in the future. Just wanna say keep up the nice videos, they help me through the annoying quarantine and they are as entertaining as ever!
Gotta love it when Drew says, "gotta be careful about that Volcano it might explode". And the people already dead on the ground are like, "Yeah we know." because you know, it already went boom.
The final score in Imperator is weighted based on the starting power of each nation. The weaker the start, the higher the score. This means that a weaker nation can have a larger final score than a stronger nation because it had a much weaker start than the stronger nation. Hopefully Drew sees this; he's done quite a few Imperator videos and hasnt figured it out yet.
Bro you made me so happy when I saw this game again like I thought this was going to be the next March of the eagles but no more. Please keep playing this
8:31 Byzantium was originally a Greek City. Later named Constantinople and *even later* and currently named Istanbul. The Romans took that area. Then the Roman Empire eventually split. The Byzantine Empire was named after Constantinople because the city priory know as Byzantium. So umm... Kinda disappointing you don’t know this...
Got this game about a month ago after I saw a few updates came out and really enjoyed it. The latest update and dlc (which is only 5 pounds) have only made it better and I'm really looking forward to see where they take it next. First time I've ever bought a paradox dlc anyway, definitely hoping they keep that dlc style up
8:29 yes, that's not Eastern Rome, is just that Istanbul was called Byzantium (first) and then was renamed Costantinople by Constantine, that wanted a great second Rome, and Byzantium was perfect for that, because it was build on 7 hills just like Rome
8:23 Byzantium or Byzantion was originally the original name of Constantinople (it was originally a Greek city state) and is thus why the East Roman Empire is sometime refereed to as the Byzantium.
