I'm so glad that many people still play MTW, as I continue to enjoy it. Talking of money, I discovered a long time ago a good use for it--to bribe unoccupied (or rebel) provinces to my side. I once played Byzantine, then sent off my emissaries to the West, managed to bribe (to buy?) Norway before the Danes succeeded there, and had a powerful army that used a combination of Norse Huscarles supported by Byzantine Cataphracts. You guys try it some time; I wish you great success at it. That's how powerful money is. Hawooh. :-)
