What's the deal with YouTubers?

Take a look at this video

My guy says that Zhatan the Black is trash because he's a bit overcosted in MP... and then proceeds to claim that sky lanterns are merely "meh." My man is actually claiming that fucking *sky lanterns* are better units than Zhatan and calls them "sniper units" while a video plays of THREE sky lanterns taking three-and-a-half minutes to focus fire a mostly stationary Throgg with the help of a lord. Sky lanterns are the worst units in the game hands down, and I don't see why anyone thinks they're even remotely good. Grail Reliquaes are unironically better than sky lanterns. Just a little while ago, they were saying that Moon Birds were the worst unit in the game! Moon Birds! And just because they couldn't do much damage. My brothers in Christ, at least moon birds can fucking tank instead of sit in the air and do fucking nothing all battle before getting obliterated by tier 0 archers.

Forming Ethiopia in the current patch is basically impossible. It is impossible because, at some point, Egypt starts intervening against you no matter what, especially once you start attacking nations that either border them or the ocean. They'll intervene even if the diplomatic play screen shows them ambivalent and wanting to stay neutral before they randomly side against you. They'll intervene even if they're in the middle of their war against the fucking Ottomans. It's like its hard coded into the game. And once that happens, your territories are basically set in stone until you're able to beat an Egyptian bullshit stack (which may be *never* if you weren't able to take a coastal province). The way its SUPPOSED to work is that you're vying and jockying for power against a bunch of other princes who also wheeling and dealing in a bid to re-unite Ethiopia and become emperor, with a *chance* for a foreign power to intervene. Instead, they sit around and do fucking nothing until eventually the player gets sodomized by Egypt.

Also, another thing. The game should really be able to differentiate between civil conflicts and foreign invasions. The game even gives you a unique "Unite Ethiopia" diplomatic demand and it is absolutely no different from a conquest diplomatic demand. There is no fucking reason why me attacking another prince in Ethiopia's civil conflict should generate more infamy than me invading Somalia.

Apparently, it looks like a series of disastrous wars that don't help us even slightly and only seem to aid our most elite caste of fucking billionaire pedophiles. I have no beef with Iran. I've never heard of an American being arrested for criticizing Iran or the American government being bought by the Iran lobby. It also wasn't Iran that attacked the USS Liberty in international waters.

The United States shouldn't be an empire. Even getting past the fact that American influence in the world is almost entirely malign, we don't even fucking benefit from it at this point. The fucking ruling class of this country don't even fucking share the loot and, indeed, fucking with these countries just makes shit worse. The only reason to support it is if you're the owner of some mega conglomerate that stands to gain huge benefits, or a complete knuckle-dragging retard who thinks war is like fucking sports and you want to see your fucking team win.
