Economic warfare?

[Ksifos]

TBH I 've never cheated, most of my games are VH and in most I can achieve both diplo and economy warfare success.So to all who say it's impossible I disagree.It's just a matter of how patient you are to actually bother with these kind of moves.I many times catch myself forgetting to send the spy, or the assasin etc but it all can be done.Maybe not the easy way the "all-knowing" AI can or harder than prevailing by the sword.Still it can be done.

In EB some things are improved.Revolting AI cities? Are they border cities? No FM governor? No public order buildings? Then can easily revolt.Send a good spy and two or three assasins destroying each round core happiness/law buildings and you 're done.Or if an FM in charge, assasinate him and then sabotage.There are plenty of actions if you really WANT to :-)

Vollorix - In VH the AI doesn't repair always.Actually he prefers to be militarily superior so he ALWAYS build armies first.

So, here is another thought. If one wanted to simply reduce the bonus cash, what percentage decrease might be reasonable?
