Resources, Ports and Wonders - Divide et Impera Economy Guide [TOTAL WAR ROME 2] #2

[@Toxborg]

Thank you very much for watching! Hopefully, you learned a lot about resources and wonders. I'll also correct myself for me forgetting the goldmine in Armenia!

[@arcomegis9999]

I think you should do a whole in depth, detailed guide series with the buildings variation and situational applications. When I switched from the vanilla version to DEI, I got really confused with the detail overload. You should also do a building comparison between different cultures. This would really help me and other new players to DEI. I'd suggest doing guides for extremely difficult and over-extended factions like Carthaginians and Seleucids.

[@Toxborg]

This is actually quite a good idea! Might actually do that. Will make a poll soon to see if there is interest in this

[@rodricuhtredson413]

The fact that the culture bunuses from Wonders stack up is sooo OP. I mean, 320% is huge. Specially for Helenic and Eastern factions that get great cultural buildings

[@Toxborg]

I know, right!!! Just wait till you hear about slaves. They will change your economy forever!😉

[@rodricuhtredson413]

@@Toxborg recently I've used slaves more often as income. A high % of the with the edict is a powerful Tool. Used It a Lot in my last Roman campaign, a bit of a roleplay, lets say. But my morals still bite the back of my head for doing it lol

[@Toxborg]

Morale?! You better leave that on the sidewalk, mate. It is time for you to embezzle, enslave, walking through territory without access and make the most expensive army possible just to forget to pause the game and lose all the units while you're away... 😆

You're the best DEI youtuber hands down....Thank you for your content!

[@Toxborg]

Thanks brotha! We just try to create entertaining content for one of our favourite games :D

[@crmesson22k]

Best guide to how to run your campaign. Surprise you are not at 1000 yet.

[@Toxborg]

Thanks mate, appreciate it. All the credit for this guide goes to Summary and Ptolemy Sotar 😃

[@giod6266]

Oh, thanks! I learned something today.. Economy and trade is so important!

[@Toxborg]

Trade is really important. Not just for economy, but diplomatic relations too 😉

[@giod6266]

@@Toxborg Yeah, I guess you are right about that ;)

[@Nick-zu1dx]

Thank you for this! Enjoying the game much more now

[@Toxborg]

Glad to hear it!

Might want to remake this video, because a lot of these values have changed in two years.

After this part 2, I'm still learning and wonder why my new campaign with Roma, can make me have 5 million😅, i don't know must happy or feel sad, that's amount of money maybe make all others terrifying to our Roma/faction, so the game become kinda boring, no one dare to argue, except the other factions who become great, but still they insist to become ally, so for at least 10 years (multipy it with 4, to find how much turns) I'm playing just politically, even after i disband all military, still no one dare deckare war, but then i realize without military, the political characters become worse, so i recruit and to maximum units, but still, i have million talent of money, maybe my dei have bugs after some turns or i found how to be super crazy rich with dei Rome 2 ? Hmmm🤔

[@aidanpoling899]

What version of DEI are you running? I subscribed to the three-part download on steam but don't have access to any special wonder buildings that give income.

[@Toxborg]

The wonders come from the "Revised Grand Campaign" mod for DEI. It is basically a beta for the next DEI update and will be integrated into the actual mod soon :D

[@johnmchugh8088]

Does all regions mean all regions in the province or all regions in all your provinces?

[@wolf99000]

I am still trying to work out how to get marble I have 2 stettlements with it and want to build coliseums but what do I have to do to get the marble

[@Toxborg]

You should have the resource by owning the town alone. But you can also build a unique chain to get more. Don't know if that helped😁

[@damuvang1915]

Which chain should I go for resource buildings? Should I choose the one that produces more of that resource for trade or the one with more raw income? Idk which one to choose.

[@Toxborg]

It usually depends on the resource itself. If it isn't part of your economy province, I suggest building the chain with the most buffs to other provinces/regions. Usually it is the one with more raw income 😁

[@malacaymcleoud6533]

Why is that? If it isn't part of your economical province why should you choose the income over the resources? Sorry, I just wanna know. I did start DEI and I needed hours just to read in the complexity the game offers and the thing that buggers me the most are exactly what ops question is. When do I choose resources over money? I even don't know if there is any use for 40 copper if I don't trade for example. Do I need it? Or do I just take the money flat. Because if I don't need the resource why should I ever choose rss over money. I mean it's a big difference between 300 income and 1250. Sorry I'm not native so hopefully u get what I mean. I can't enjoy my campaigns because I don't find an answer to this question 😂

[@crmesson22k]

What do you need Amber for?

[@Toxborg]

Nothing except for it's incredible boost to commerce in all regions 😁

[@billy1496]

Where in the map is Trained Slaves??1

[@Toxborg]

In Thrace and southern Arabia

[@fmoa2541]

hate this kind of video, just tell us what buildings to build first than the next, we dont need to know what resources go here and there and so on, this aint college.
