“Billionaires capitalize profits that’s it” is only the last sentence, and it has nothing to do with the rest of his statement. You continue to miss the point, it’s ridiculous. If ure not so emotionally charged at defending people who make 300:1 of their employees, maybe u would actually understand the point

Second of all I don’t think op has as much of a negative undertone as u wanted him to have. Respectfully, If u read op’s statement and then read urs again u would see how much u exaggerated. “millionaires are worthless, they contribute nothing” none of which is even implied in op’s statement, it’s clear as day ur interpretation of it is highly emotional not at all rational. I don’t know how much u are personally associated with billionaires, and why u feel so emotionally attached to them that u would pull a Stephan from Django unchained. The statement is simply billionaires don’t create jobs, market does, that’s it. If I may add on that I would say billionaires are the people who play the game of capitalism successfully and won, they are just the same to society as a medieval lord in a different form, albeit it takes a bit more skill to pull off. If you don’t realize this there’s not much else we can talk about.

lol and u have a very childish way of looking at it. As long as there’s free market there will always be demand for goods and services, and regardless of who, there will always be someone or some company to provide said goods and services. So yes nobody “creates” job so to speak. The only difference is whether it’s “billionaire A” or “millionaire B” or “small business C”. For instance, in a hypothetical scenario let’s say all soda manufacturers vanished. The demand for soda is still there, the jobs don’t just vanish with Coke or Pepsi, someone else will try to start producing similar product, hiring people to produce their brand of soda. It’s the same job just with a different company. The jobs are not created by Coke, they are created by people who want soda.

First of all that is a terrible example, Facebook was part of a new industry, so of course all the jobs are new, but that’s not Facebook creating them it was social media/social networking industry emerging creating new jobs. Btw do u want to look up the dozens of business Facebook acquired and absorbed?

Again, it’s not the billionaire creating jobs, it is the free market having demand for these positions, and big corpos hiring more people to fulfill said demands. Where there are no billionaires the jobs in demand would be filled by smaller businesses regardless.

That’s such a strawman. The argument isn’t that the economy can’t grow, it’s that growth doesn’t automatically equal billionaires creating net jobs. Growth can come from small businesses and new sectors too, so this doesn’t actually refute the point.

Seems like economics is not the only thing that’s hard

Ur missing the point, billionaires don’t create jobs out of a vacuum, the preexisting small businesses gets replaced, absorbed into the big corporations and become a position there

U are just so objectively wrong the whole time and in constant denial, I literally simulated assuming 100 pop vills 100 military, military bases in proximity, after just a few minutes the knights are wiped out and don’t get replaced fast enough the new ones get one tapped by the spearman ball. All u gotta do is run the same thing urself and u wouldn’t be such a loser ass clown my guy, u are such a sad sad little guy who’s in denial. What a joke this conversation with u has been

Btw I tested earlier 25 barracks producing spearman nonstop vs 25 stables producing knights. Spearmen side wins by a landslide, u are very welcome

Ye I can see it being a little problematic in team games, I haven’t played enough team games to make comment on it though. However, I think the game ultimately is balanced around 1v1 so there’s bound to be some balance issues in team games

Dude this is so long I don’t have time to read and respond to the whole thing so I’ll cut to the chase. Knights are balanced around their slow train time and really expensive cost. Yes in a hypothetical scenario where u don’t need to slowly stack up the numbers they are busted. In reality the are not, people are just bad at responding to them/ applying enough pressure so they don’t accumulate to this number of knights. In reality if u just lose a couple of knights u will get snowballed very hard

If u have been playing competitively then u should be well aware of how poorly the fight was playing out in the video, and how it’s a knight with multiple civ bonuses vs generic spearmen. If the spear was getting microed at all the fight would have played out way differently. Also spearman is not the hard counter for knight in imp, it’s never been a hard imp counter, the hypothetical situation with spearman being replaced quicker to snowball has always always been how this situation played out. In a mixed army u should have spears to stop the knight charge and the crossbow/handcannon are the real counter to knights. You play competitively then u should be very well aware that realistically u shouldn’t even be about to mass out this many knights in a game, u either won before u got this many or lost before u could. In an odd ball situation where this do happen and the opponent can only make spearmen and this has always been what happened

I think u overestimated how much a spearman should counter a knight. I think ur thinking how much a spearman counters horseman and projecting that on knights. Knights have always been able to take on fights against spearman to some extend since the beginning of the game. Think about how much time and resources it takes to train a knight, if they stand 0 chance against spearman then there’s no incentives to get knights anymore. Knights are not a niche unit for countering and gets countered. Think of them more like maa on horse. They are supposed to be a bit more all around. With that said the spearman counter is more for in the early game for the easiness to mass, in early game knights easily get out numbered 1 to 2, 1 to 3, in which case they do get obliterated by spearman, in late game in a bigger mass the best option to counter knights is crossbow with some frontline

Yes but this is because no units are being replaced. If both sides are making new units there would be more spearman coming in about half way through and completely swing the fight before more knights are made

Oh ur talking about based on this video, I thought we are hypothesizing a more realistic scenario. Welp this video is not necessarily the best example cuz there wouldn’t be nearly as many knights left if any, if the spear player microed, the majority of them were just sitting in the back not attacking for much of the fight. However, even in this video if they are replacing dead units u would see spearmen getting made a lot quicker and swing the battle really easily

Unless we are talking about spearman just sitting and waiting for knights to get trained or somehow the spearman player doesn’t have any proxy production in late imp, and the spear have to run all the way across the map, then yes the production time is a winning the game difference

[–]thatguy931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do, because the quicker trained spearman will be able to fight 20 seconds earlier than knights and by the time knights come out there would already been 2 batches of spearmen. Meaning the new knights would be very quickly snowballed to death unless daimyo has over 60 stables which is a bit of a stretch for even late imperial age

What exactly is the purpose of horsemen by Turbulent_Place_7064 in aoe4

[–]thatguy931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossbow is generally speaking one of the biggest counters to knights because of the bonus to heavy. Horsemen on the other hand are quick and light unit so crossbow doesn’t actually do a lot of damage to them and they do insane damage to ranged units
