So, is it unlikely that you will hit that limit - absolutely. Is it something that's possible - absolutely.

Well there's no need for me to worry anyway, since I seem to always have only just enough to get by

Also, if you were to roll over, would you be able to lose money fast enough to make yourself rich again? The only realistic way to do it would be to let everything rebel, since farms and mines can't be destroyed, and tax income would cripple you. Such is the world of living on the edge of integers.

What... 750000000?!? are u sure?

I only had 800000.... in the bank account of my Healthy M/M romani campaign.... i only got 400000 in maximum peace condition in a very healthy empire... the upkeep and unit costs in EB is very high compared to most Mods...

Doing the math of mnai/turn compared to number of turns that I completed the game in, you're probably right that I'm off by a 2 zeros. Hmm, that kind of takes the thunder out of my statement!

Sorry, in my defense it all looks similar!

Still that' a huge treasurery. I bet you had tons of Beaury Lovers by that time. Has anyone ever gotten more money though? I wodner waht hte EB record is without cheating.

It's easy to get rid of any excess treasury, just recruit a bunch of elites and their upkeep will keep you nice and poor.

Heh... some flashy ships... or what not a balistae! (one of those is more expensive than a whole army!

)

What is the point of saving the money? Even with biggest empire I would never hit 300 000 limit. Actually playing as romanii on VH/VH in 200 BC I already get 320 000 per turn from my 100 cities, then there are around 260 000 army upkeep expenses per turn, rest 60 000 I use for expansion of towns. So at the end of every turn I usually have 1000 or less.
In this game money (main source of your power) win the war :) So it is pretty bad to keep them in treasury - hurts the whole business - war :)
