What is this Byzantium you speak of and how did they manage to take Roman Lands!?

 

[Moai_Spammer]

The shorthand term is Byzantium

Byzantium? You mean the tiny upstart nation to South using hax?

It's better than the Baby Eating Vodka Drinking group of disorganized anarchic city states to it's north

 

[CaterpillarKing]

You mean the ones that you asked for help from and who took a German city in the first try? And the ones that kicked Mongolia in the booty?

We distracted the Germans

and the mongols aren't that hard to kill, they often rush china and fail so you just need about 5 phracts to take em down

Byzantium is OP! Quiet little brother! Also at least I didn't lose my entire army just to take a city, lose it, take it again, and fail to take Rome. And I had two phracts and three horse archers. Deal with it! I am better

I actaully only lost 4 phracts to kill 3 enemies in vienna

i sent the remaining 3 to Rome where the RNG killed me

as for the mongols, even with my help you didn't take beshbalik

 

[DKVM]

You know, I wish I could do a multiplayer AAR but my computer overheats too easily so it would take forever.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

It isn't my fault! The RNG gods hated me too! Also, at least I don't lose a lot of soldiers only to lose the city once again

40. Additional Info not worth mentioning in numbers

The ones I still couldn't figure out are these:
Starting Location % | Max Colony Maintenance | No Tech Trade Modifier | Tech Trade Known Modifier | AI per era Modifier

Also, underlined values mean they are equal to the previous difficulty, for easier comparison
