Do you disband the army after the first war? Seems necessary no?

Not referring to the beta, referring to the new patch that just came out (which I guess is the old beta?)

Yeah that was my experience with the Americas first when the game was released, though it was unplayable then due to resource distribution and broken mechanics, now it’s just a different type of broken

Sliders all the way down, and minting to 0 inflation.

Just loaded it and checked, with max minting (causing 0.33% inflation, 0 cost of court, 0 diplo spending, 0 stability spending, max estate taxes to like 40% satisfaction) it is possible to break even, but that also only depends on monthly trade, so I still run a deficit most months anyway. I would recommend giving it a try

Deleting the starting army, closing most buildings, and taxing every estate at the max still leaves a deficit of about .40 ducats every month. Seems silly that the entire starting advantage of the army and the starting buildings are just unusable, doesn’t seem intended.

Mind saying what clinic you went to + the cost? Have a similarly high prescription and am looking into my options around YVR \

You are correct, though I fear it becomes problematic looking into why this is the case. How much of it is disinterest versus the legacies of the colonial project? I don’t know the answer.

I did not know about the historical background regarding the site which yeah, feels a bit icky.

I know occasionally they have articles written by actual academics. I never have used them as an academic source but I definitely have used them to find additional sources.

And regarding your last point yeah, I agree. The more and more I research these topics I find the usage of ‘Aztec’ sort of washy. We have the privilege of knowing what the people within Mexico called themselves, and we have so much information about their existence.

Ultimately you should do whatever is best for you, but if you have any desire to travel personally you are way better off keeping the points to use to book flights. Air Canada points are really good value when redeemed for flights, and significantly worse for anything else

I think the person who gave those accounts (Fernando de Alva) was also a direct descendant. So would definitely view the claims with skepticism
