europa barbarorum's economy/ or anything u dont like about eb

[V.T. Marvin]

What irritates me is how every faction's economy is set to plummet at game start unless the player does something sharpish to arrest its decline (typically by warring with the far more powerful independent neighbours, or else just disbanding armies). I like that this encourages strategy and controls the rate at which all factions can expand, but being put in a situation where your empire's coffers can't support its armies seems unbalanced and perhaps ahistorical.

Hmm, I would say the contrary - you have an army for a purpose - to wage war.
Now, if you want war and expand - you have an army for that from the start.
Or you want to stay in peace and look after your bussiness - well you just disband the troops.

Note that at those time almost none of the states depicted in EB did have a large standing army. Rather the overwhelming majority of troops were levied/hired for a specific campaign only to return back to their fields once it ended.

Farming income in a region is tied to population growth. To keep exploding populations down, the farming income took a big hit in EB.

Trade fleets are actually hardcoded to the port level. No matter what the description says, each port level gains 1 trade fleet, up to 3.

EB Economy is actually what makes it so challenging. There are many modifications where you are already swimming in cash by day one, and that might also be true for the Romani. I just hope they start with less generous pecuniary possibilities for the next release since this is bringing the polish of this faction a bit down, in my opinion.

Furthermore it is my firm belief that the Hellenistic Suine must be razed from the ground and their survivors boiled alive to free us from their putrid stain on the earth once and for all.
