He was so bothered by the fact that he had basically screwed the lives of literally everybody in the Mediterranean that on his way back through after his pilgrimage he borrowed as much gold at high interest prices to rectify his mistake. It has gone down as the only time in recorded history that one man has single-handedly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean.

Germany isn't maxed out on coal. It literally says "You already have the maximum amount of this item" the second you linked. The reason he's not losing any coal imo is because his coal mines are producing more coal than he can store, so when he sells one, one gets transferred from his coal mine to his coal stash. I can just assume this only works until the coal mine production for this round is empty, which makes perfectly sence

For online gameplay banking would be real fun without AI.

Is this sarcasm? I've been thinking about picking it up, but that's one of the biggest downsides I've heard of.

@@TylerAndToast The AI and graphics and some other minor features maybe bad but overall it is a very good game and loads of fun if u r a civ enthusiast but will take time to learn if you don't know anything about civ. It has way more features than civ 5 and interesting scenarios. Ultimately the cost is the deciding factor. All expansion and DLC included is it really worth it? Your choice

@@nuclearwarlordgandhi7941 The AI is horrible, but graphics are a matter of taste. I actually like that cartoonish style. Some review of the AI for @TylerAndToast: Worst part of the AI is not these shown exploits (as they can be ignored), but the fact that it is overall completely incompetent and dumb in every way. Lower difficulty is no fun grind and higher difficulty games are always like this: You start behind (why they always do this, why not give equal starts and aid the AI more along the way?), deal with AI being assholes to you for the most random reasons and forward settling you before turn 10, get declared war a few times, beat their messy army with your inferior but organized one (at least you're no longer a warmonger for defending or even taking one city as a punishment), then keep catching up, overtake them and grind to a science victory because you have already invested so much to science to catch up. Domination is too slow to do since you have to stabilize conquered cities due to the loyalty system, diplomacy feels like a total bore, religious is nigh impossible if you have any religion oriented opponents (which you almost always do). Cultural victory could be a possibility depending on your opponents, but it's usually faster to grind the space race. So the biggest problem is that playing with the AI has a reverse difficulty curve, where the start feels unfair (because it is), you are even with the AI for a moment, and then it becomes a grind. Feels like firaxis has these problems with some other games too, namely XCOM series. But in XCOM games it makes sense as you are the underdog. In Civ you are supposed to start on an even ground. When it comes to exploits, it seems the AI is not properly coded to handle these new revamped strategic resources. It is also extremely annoying that sometimes when you have some new resources, every AI tries to offer a deal for multiple turns in a row, so you have to bash Esc for the whole time of waiting your turn to neglect their shitty offers. Otherwise the game is great for example for multiplayer where these problems don't matter, and if some mods get updated to GS compatibility (namely AI+), playing against AI might become more enjoyable. There is a No AI Start Advantage mod, but it might make it so that they fall behind almost right away, haven't tested that enough yet. Edit: There seems to be a Smoother Difficulty mod which decreases AI start bonuses and increases the long term ones. Definitely trying out that one.

@@TylerAndToast Have you... Watched the video?

@@nuclearwarlordgandhi7941 there is always the choice of buying the base game and as much expansions as you think they deserve money and pirating the rest, that is the modus operandi for games that go nuts with overpriced expansions and dlc

Did they even learn how compound discounts are supposed to work?

Clearly the functionality was outsourced to the British Government.

So much of this game can hardly have been playtested. I think there is so much of the AI (and other stuff) that has just been hacked together with really lazy and shoddy coding. The same goes for so many small bugs. It's a *fucking turn based game* and they messed it up, the level of incompetence is unbelievable.

I mean in Civ 3 you could ask for 9999999999 gpt from an AI and they would say yes. You just had to cancel the deal before a stack overflow error reset you gold to negative. Civ has always had weird quirks with trading.

Also Mansa Musa reputedly sold and donated enough gold while on hajj to cause massive economic turmoil, then bought most of it back to solve the problem he created.

I think if you account for inflation he was the richest person ever, with the Rockefellers like waaaaaaaaay behind. Edit: I was corrected on this by Endermage77(see below) His pilgrimage includes 12000 slaves each carrying 4lbs of gold, 80 camels each carrying somewhere between 50-300lbs of gold dust, and heralds carrying solid gold staves and wearing all silk errthang. To quote wiki- "Musa's journey was documented by several eyewitnesses along his route, who were in awe of his wealth and extensive procession, and records exist in a variety of sources, including journals, oral accounts, and histories. Musa is known to have visited the Mamluk sultan of Egypt, Al-Nasir Muhammad, in July 1324.[23]. However, Musa's generous actions inadvertently devastated the economies of the regions through which he passed. In the cities of Cairo, Medina, and Mecca, the sudden influx of gold devalued the metal for the next decade. Prices on goods and wares greatly inflated. To rectify the gold market, on his way back from Mecca, Musa borrowed all the gold he could carry from money-lenders in Cairo at high interest. This is the only time recorded in history that one man directly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean."

The only man that came close was Jakob Fugger, the man who literally owned all trade in Europe Wikipedia values him at ~400 billion USD which is higher than Rockefeller by one or two orders of magnitude
