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
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
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

Bold words from people who can't even defend themselves from tyranny
Now if an asian country did that
That would be mad
Anyone know what the fuck is happening in Ecuador?
