    Mines. They will help your economy. Also, a screenshot of your income and expenditures would be nice (the one you get at the beginning of your turn). Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

    The Getai have a less-sophisticated economy than Rome or the Greeks. During the end of my last campaign I was only pulling about 5000 mnai per turn even though I controlled everything from Northern Italy to Antioch.

    Mines do help, but having larger cities in your homeland would, too.

    Oh now I see the solution is quite simple. Conquer more of Greece :)

    The Central European cities don't have nearly the earning potential of Greece, and once you take all of Greece, it's not even a front but a rear area for you. That would solve your economic troubles pretty easily. It might be in your interest to let a couple of your border towns rebel if you find you can't hold them while you move into Greece.

    This would be my first recommendation.

    Secondly, put settlements with less than ~8000 population in low tax rate and build as many health buildings as you can. This way, they will grow quite fast, produce more tax income, and get to the upgrade populations (2000, 6000, 12000, etc.) more quickly.

    Your army upkeep actually seems pretty low. However, I would still recommend that you use low-cost, high-number units for garrison troops (like Lugoae and Akontistai) and move the rest of your troops to the front.

    Even though you may not have built any mines, you still hold some settlements with mines. Search your family tree for those that have the trait "Miner" and appoint them as governors in the relevant settlements. Do this for trade-related traits in cities with ports as well.

    The Getai roster has some great units to go raiding with. Form a group containing a few elite units (assuming you have access to them: Agema Orditon, Epilektoi Komatai, Tarabostes, and a general) and go attack a few of the enemy's largest cities. Enslave the population and completely raze the settlement and you can easily gain 30-40000 mnai from just one settlement.

    Last, but certainly not least: are you running the script? I see your adviser is patiently waiting for a click...
