Inflation for EB 2 economies

[TancredTheNorman]

Constant warfare was the job description of some of these factions.

Romani obviously had endless warfare in Italy at first then against Carthage constant warfare with Celts in the North, with all of the Greek factions, ultimately a war without end in the Iberian Penninsula, after they defeated the Selucids they recieved wars in Asia Minor, there were also Getai raids to deal with.

Carthage had constant warfare in Sicily before the Romans gave them the boot, much warfare in Corsica and Sardinia, after losing the First Punic War the Barcids brought Carthage into war with very large numbers of Spanish tribes, and when Carthage was disarmed by treaty the Numidians made a lot of trouble for them. Unlike Rome the secret of Carthage was the mercenary.

The Diodachi were constantly at each others throat, I think everyone here knows about how merciless the Ancient Greeks would be to each other.

I should have been clearer about what I was answering, this is what it has to do with it.

Someone said this

That prevents you from recruiting only elites but it doesn't prevent you from recruiting endlessly. In this game you can constantly be at war. Constantly. That is not realistic. When an empire loses a big amount of men in war the are willing to offer terms to the enemy because their population isn't suficcient for endless warfare. Little boys need to grow up in order to be recruited as soldiers. Unless the romans had cloning facilities

It isn't just the Romans who prospered under constant warfare, Carthage did to, war was actually just another marketplace tool for Carthage, Hannibal just made a bad high risk investment.

ah, I see your point.
