As there is no thread for this, I thought it would be nessesary.
Tip 1: Raiding
This is very important if you want to have a good econamy, which is very hard to get in this mod. You'll notice that your income in the cities are minus. So what you should do is when you capture a settlement, occupy it, (Defininately don't exterminate it. It's bad for your general's traits, BAD!) and destroy all the buildings that can be destroyed. You'll get a 3000-5000 mnai, depending on what city you are raiding. This is very useful. You can leave the city to rebel, or you could keep your troops in it, (Only keep in 1 or 2 units though) and somehow you get non-minus income.
Tip 2: Skirmishers
Skirmishers are brilliant for light infantry. I remember in my 4-turn campaign ( I found out I was PWNED!! Like all my first campaigns......:laugh4: )
I got my skirmishers chucking their javilens at those barbarians in pajamas. They were slaughtered. Never use you skirmishers to kill hoplites or anything decently armored, even at the back.
Tip 3: Disbanding at the beginning
You'll find that the army upkeep is a HUGE money-sucker, leaving you in debt. So, disband a great amount of militias, and some of your elites. To get your money out of your cities, check all your generals. If they are not good managers, take them out of the city. You should take out a lot of your troops. You'll pobably find that your cities actually make some money, or lose a bit of debt. Every little helps!
I hope these tips are useful! Good luck, and post your tips!
