but also if you play Byzantium you're going to make no money and every playthrough on the same day on the same year you'll get fucked by an earthquake and various other events that constantly fire and lose you money

EU5 balance with byzantium seems a bit off, because even with all that--that's easy mode compared to irl. lose 70% of your territory in 1341 because the other side in a civil war called Serbia and Bulgaria in

I feel like IRL Byzantium COULD AFFORD TO BUILD A BUILDING in between all of that time period

I had a 1/15 playthrough lucky event streak that let me somewhat stabilize but woops fuck my ass I invested the scraps of money I could get into expanding the gold mine you get BUT NOBODY WOULD MOVE TO FUCKING WORK THERE EVEN WITH A 100 SKILL ADVISOR ENCOURAGING MIGRATION

COULD AFFORD TO BUILD A BUILDING
