How to make LOTS of money

[Korlon]

Depends on how far you are in the game and the faction you're playing really.

I go pretty fast on the campaign map. I don't really consider my style blitz as I have infrastructure built and I hardly ever exterminate/enslave. I take quite a few turns to consolidate a recently conquered city as well. But by the twentieth year, I generally have at least 15000-25000 mnai income per turn unless I'm a nomadic faction, in which case my income's generally 10,000 a turn. My campaigns don't usually go further than that so I don't know. First couple years are variable. Factions near the Aegean should be getting 10,000 mnai incomes quite fast, as does the Lusotannan and Kart-hardastim.

My standing armies may be considered small though. They're usually quite cheap as well. I just use my experience in battles to compensate.
