just reailty denying

well yeah

total denial

ikr

they are just blank slaters

roman empire actually fell because of overspending and over taxation

one of the main reasons anyway

it declined slowly and painfully

yeah

what set it on the decline

got too big too soon

and then the only way to pull back from disaster was imposing feudalism

lol

diocletian

yeah the reason for over-taxation could have been too big too soon

more troops needed to protect

also decreased the training time

maybe them less capable

poor third world provinces draining the rich ones

well if the rich ones could resist keeping out of the poor ones

because the emperor was unnaccountable and everything was top down

people put the romans on a pedestal, but their own system killed them - they were just lucky not to face off against another great empire that could hit them directly

because their empire was protected by mountains and desert

and then barbarian buffer states

yeah

really good start buffs

really the only good thing about rome was the repuiblic, but england came up with a better system

indeed, start buffs lol

also a good start buff for england

well i dunno about england so much

i dunno how aware they were of the republic in medieval times

far as i know, not much

well england middle game when technology was more developed

but magna carta was a thing, and then parliament gained power and then england became set on the path after the civil war

yeah

a king and basic rights dont work well

english common law, i know very little about that

but i know it's better than napoleonic code due to adversarial system

not familiar with the napoleonic code

the mad lad czechs do it again
