IMPERATOR ROME IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS - Excluding Infinite Gold

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!

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.

[@PhantomSavage]

... why does Paradox (or legitimately any RTS, city/civ building, business tycoon game developer) just not actually hire Spiffing Brit to play test this nonsense? Just... give him the test build, let him roam free, and then wait for him to get back to you at how exactly he broke absolutely *everything* and let him show you exactly where you should fix it.

[@caldwell0729]

Paradox hired a streamer who exploited EU4 in the original build and he is now the Game Director for EU4.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

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]

A lot of game companies only test whether functionality works, not whether it can be exploited. The testing budget is not big enough to actually produce a good game.

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.

Yeah as much as I like supporting KZbinrs I like, the ad avalanche is getting annoying. Pre roll ads (some so short you don't even know what product is being sold before it's over), mid roll ads, pop ups and more. Oh and actual product sponsorships, channel plugging, patreon, subscribe etc. Spiff at least makes his shameless plugs funny but at some point video's are more advertisement than content, especially those under 10 minutes long.

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.

[@DivinityOfBLaze]

@@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.
