Romani Campaign Questions

[/Bean\]

I never get uber rich in my Roman campaigns. I don't allow myself. Sometimes its annoying having too little money though, but having limitless money like 200K is more boring.

I always have plenty of armies; several legions (as soon as I have about 20k excess money I make a new legion). I expand slowly so that my enemies grow large (thus needing more legions to combat the problem) and I don't get too much money by conquering.

Large navies is another good tip, and creating forts in many places to act as garrisons across the region, occupied by mercs or Roman/Allied units, for roleplay reasons. I usually keep my city garrisons relatively high. And I give money to other factions. This all helps to keep me below 50-70k, and I'm in 178BC.

Yeah I always have Legions standing around in Illyricum, Hispania and North afcrica, without having enemies there. Good for Roleplaying!!
And having the Germanic tribes surrounded by 5 legions and the constant 4 legions at the parthian front does hurt the moneybag also!

Same here - as soon as I reach the Marian reforms, I start creating legions whose only purpose is to guard particular regions and wipe out the occasional rebel army that crops up. At this point (110 BCE) I have a legion in Mauretania/Africa, Hispania, Gallia, Germania, Thracia, Graecia and Aegyptus. Come to think of it, I should probably add more - Asia could use a legion, as could the Levant. -M

Ummm, cheating anyone? add_money -150000?

it is not cheating if you are subtracting the money, really. Just think of it as "locking away the excess money". Or something else. In any case, too much of everything is really, really easy too fix. The real problem is when you are lacking something
