Just finished playing a bit more. Since I was so poor (-750000), whenever I proposed anything to the AI, such as selling map information for ~500 mnai, they would just offer me a gift instead! Guess they really feel sorry for me. I just took the city above Patala, and a town in mainland Spain just revolted back to me, from my Carthaginian allies. I have around 4.5k profit a turn, and cash of -616000, so I should be out of debt in just 34 years . Hopefully everyone will leave me alone till then, since im running low on actual units. I even abandoned Pura because I didnt want to risk a unit of spearmen.
