Admittedly, this was thought of in a bit of a “spur in the moment” kind of thing. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it.

Some notes about this:
The stats don't look quite as clear as I wanted to. Realized this mid-way through editing. Given I'll likely do a few more videos of this type, this will be an issue to rectify.
On stats: they are, from left to right: Military, Political, Economy, Diplomacy, Geography. And before you ask, no, they are not all worth the same. I applied a weighted system, as I felt some parameters mattered more than others.
By the way, given the subjective nature of the video, there's no Bibliography, but there are Recommendations on the video description.

Reject modernity. Embrace the Bronze.
This is acc a really convenient video for me lol. Been getting into Total War Pharaoh Dynasties recently
I really appreciate all the images and the colored lines for the tier list, so many of these lists are just black backgrounds with a few colored boxes and the items at the bottom, but this is much more engaging.
Chinese dynasty tier list when?
