How did Kings manage not to turn into Caligula, ive been playing a 40k game were you re basicaly a king and i had dozens turned into servitors already.
Like if you had all that power that your words is worth more than a cannonball why would you not abuse it.
Expecialy if the people are brainwashed into having Faith in you and welcome death by your hand

Kings mostly didn't have absolute power and had to navigate a complex series of social contracts and appeasing nobles etc

Degenerates like you generally don't rise up to become kings. Usually only through inheritance.

Caligula himself was not "Caligula", most of the stories about him are false. He was popular throughout his reign and not just "the first few months", he did not in fact empty the treasury, and it's telling that the few policies he enacted which were unpopular were still kept in place by his successors, such as the tax on prostitution.

Because you are playing a videogame while being a king was an actual job you had to well or else you risked death.

You're making this thread to harass, terrorize and threaten me for playing cities skylines when you're the one who gets triggered and abuses me more when I do "good things" like build offices, parks, schools, etc. Your real concern is that if I was king you wouldn't be able to abuse me without consequence

Medieval Kings had no power and were often completely cucked to the nobility.

It was European monarchy and the divine right of kings and their state mandated religion that drove immigrants to migrate to the Americas, that's why I disapprove of christian evangelists and fundamentalists that try to make everyone think the USA is a Christian nation

Because most kings were actually fucking competent
