Hi everyone, I'm new around here, as you probably noticed.

First of all, I have to say that I really love this mod. I just donwloaded it like a week days ago and I'm already completley hooked up with it (although I had an exam this last Saturday, so I couldn't play too much), I must congratulate you, because you have done a great job with it.

That being said, I've got some questions for you.

I've just started an Arverni campaign... and I've found myself in a very difficult situation. First of all, the economy. The Arverni start with just 5000 mnai, and with a HUGE debt, and not good possibilites of recover, at least in the beginning.
I can't disband my units because of the Aedui, they're always attacking, with more and more armies. I defeat them all, and always, but I have to keep a good garrison in each of my cities, because if don't do it, they'll fall.
That leaves me no chance of a big army to attack the Aedui, or to just take some Eleutheroi settlements, which BTW, have fine garrisons, that can not be just killed with a FM and 3 or 4 units, you need at least medium size armies.

Now I have -37.000 mnai, and counting. I win victory after victory against the Aedui, but they just keep coming. I've sent diplomatics to every other faction (well, almost every faction), and got the trade rights, still I lose mnai every turn (The first turn was like -11.000 mnai, then less each turn)

I control 4 Settlements. The 3 starter ones, and the one which is just south of the starting location of the Arverni's Faction Leader (don't remember the name of the settlement). I took that settlement from the Eleutheroi, but I don't have a big army, just the starter units, and as I said, I have to distribute them among the settlements.

I really don't know what else to do.
Any thoughts? Advices? Maybe starting all over? It's just 268 BCE, if I remember correctly, or maybe one or two years later, but I just started.

Thanks in advance to everyone
