Set taxes to low, growth leads to a stronger economy over the long term. Choosing higher taxes is only when you're in a desperate situation and either need fast cash or need it to not go into the red monetarily. Any other time I hate raising taxes, it's never good long term.

This was a bit less grand than i expected!

I probably wouldnt bother with part 2 at this point bud

pls upload more videos like this, they are so good

The thing that changed the game for me: -Send out 3 diplomats asap, one east, one west and one south or north depending where you are on the map. -Sell trade rights and alliances to everyone you can. Hold back map info for those who are reluctant. Slightly increase your price with each subsequent ally as the value will increase. -This is the big one. Don’t ask for large single payments. Instead ask for smaller tributes over as many turns as possible. This is because in the early game, you will likely not have enough stuff to spend money on. Regular tribute means a boost to spending power every turn that you can actually use. -Crusade to Egypt asap, send merchants to cash in on spice, cotton, ivory, silk, and slaves.

Thanks for both part my bro

Before the video starts Stacked Merchants being escorted by Army with loyal Generals on valuable resources provides massive boost to economy High tax’s before the point of revolting Trade agreements with everyone early game Settlements with extreme amounts of income, example Venice raiding everything, sacking cities, raze all buildings in every city that you can’t control and defend then raise taxes until they revolt then do it again until you can control it.

In 2023, the only video I find, when I search: *total war medieval 2 economy guide* I play on iPad. Thank you for the

i have an exam in school tomorrow and im learning about the economy in medieval 2 ....

He really did a fickking ppt on m2tw trade mechanics

I'm starting to play Total war medieval 2, and in my first game I had an economy of -70000 x), this video helped me a lot, thanks :)

Watching this now

Venice , Milan and Sicily (Italians) are best if you want economy.....

ep 3 when?

I used the merchant technique. I created 5-6 strong merchant wich robbed the other merchant. I could make 3000 denaries just by acquiring the assets of merchants. Than are the mines.

Thanks for the guide, both parts. Just started playing the Total War franchise for the first time with the Medieval 2 release on ios/android and I was out of my depth.

this fucker did a god damn PowerPoint! Absolut giga chad

My man create a lecture for Medieval 2 Total War Phd

part 3 in 2026

thx again :)

that was really useful thx :)

I came because I saw the power point format

Thanks for making this

Step 1: conquer another settlement. Step 2: repeat step 1 Step 3: STONKS

constantine dint FOUND constantinople, he just renamed it .. its an ancient huge city called Byzantium originally

+1 for the powerpoint

Something to take into account while setting tax is that higher tax reduce the growth of the city. It could get really significant in the long term. It's why I usually set taxe to low when i can afford It, the population growth make it worth it in a few 10s of turns I gess

fking hell a lecture? am not ready for this

Why Italian Factions have such a huge advantage, their Militia is awesome And if you put Crusader Guilds in their cities you can recruit strong Cavalry

My strategy.. expand quickly to the rebel settlements near you. Trade rights & map info everyone. Lower taxes in all your cities for maximum population growth. Get an army in a couple ships with a diplomat. Go to a distant land across the map, take a shitty city or a large unguarded city, sell all their shit & have your diplomat sell it back to them. You can get 10k florins easily. If you want sell it to their neighbour they will try take it back & go to war. Do this for as many cities as you can whilst constantly upgrading your own cities. $$$

:)

Conquer land thats how you build income lol

Idk if u still read comments here but if so, well done on the video; it seems really well researched and made. I do however have one small criticism: the images you show I could not see as they were so small.

I would say do you want my best opinion on which faction to choose for this type of income based on me choose either England or Scotland then once you taking over the entire island including Ireland turn them all into cities then start expanding towards France Denmark or Spain

Play English; smash Scotland turn 1 or 2, unify the isles, take the French coast from rebels; profit.

I firstly thought this is a homework given by your teacher anyway thanks dude it is helpful a lot

Well put together man thanks a lot

You deserve more subs man I find it to hard not to use the money cheat always end up in debt

This is first class, would love to see a few more of these. Are the tips applicable to all TWs?

Did... Did this guy just made an entire PowerPoint presentation about the economy of a video game?

Me playing this in 2020 cuz of quarantine but can i just say i love the powerpoint presentation haha xD

DUDE POWER POINT GAME

6.4 update would've been perfect if it had America 😪

Langa Gaming:: I know this is an Oldie But Goodie TW Video Tutorial. But it is still one of the most Played Games, and i just picked up 2 different series, Britannia and Attila on Sale, also was thinking on getting Rome-2 And this one on Ur video. I just got a Question on the Building construction. Do you just click and wait for the Green Level to Rising till it finish like here at 3:09 ? ... I ask this cuz like the game Medieval Kingdom Wars when you build you see it being built. i Mean Medieval Kingdom Wars to me its sort of overwhelming, do to the like cluttering of all the building Ect you Literally sit there Navigate around looking for the building you want to Build, well least as a beginner. All in All, i really didn't like the game but didn't give it much a chance, but for reasons, of the Mechanics of the game. I will continue watching Ur videos, see if i can follow, so far there good.

Have you got this saved still? I'd like to see how it panned out.

So merchants or for very long campaigns. I've seen players finishing a game in roughly 50 turns. In those short games merchants won't pay back the investment. In longer games like that 150 turns they will over time.

Arracking right away? Why not? Legends of total war has some great points and tips for that kind of campaign. It really isnt that hard to play this game with rapid expansions of your teritory and yet almost always be in 0 or + at the end of turn. Most of the factions are ez to do this with.

Play scots, spam cities and late pike militia and always swim in money
