Money too plentiful?

[Rhyfelwyr]

In the past I used to set taxes to the highest level I could without risking rebellion. But in the last few campaigns I realised that this is not necessary, and have played with low taxes everywhere. In the early game buildings are dirt cheap and your armies tend to be low quality, low upkeep affairs. And by the time I have around 30 regions my money seems to just get ridiculous and I spawn armies at an absurd rate. So many times I have conquered the Iberian peninsula in ten turns.

And from then on its just a case of spamming armies and conquering everywhere as quickly as you can, with the two World Wars coming half a millenia too soon against the Mongols and Timurids respectively, I can't take any more wars of attrition against them.

Right now I'm playing as the HRE and I own almost 90 provinces. And my money is at something along the lines of 1,200,000 Florins. I have around 10 full armies fighting the Mongols in the Holy Land, plus another few holding the Timurids around Bulgar.

Even playing as what many people call the 'poorer' factions such as Poland and Sicily I never had problems with money. How can you struggle when you have Strzelcy?

But seriously, money seems far too readily available in M2TW. And its making the game too easy.
