Tougher Eleutheroi please!

[Anakuj]

Greetings fellow EB-ers,

as the title says I would like to face tougher eleutheroi armies/garrisons at the long run. I also would like to preserve the indepence of the many colorful free tribes and kingdoms accross the world of EB - I just don't want to face 4-5 owerpowered superstates at the later game (250 BC onward) without any single 'free' state, because it could be very boring to fight off so many full stacks of the same enemy, and it just kills roleplay. EB for me equals diversity.

In vanilla I gave the 'Rebels' a significant boost in their starting armies and structures and a 10.000.000 denarii treasury instead of their basic 100.000. It was really needed because their unit upkeep fees turned as much as ~50.000/turn. And it works! They constantly build structures, train units and upgrade their cities! Like any other playable faction.

It is 240 BC and there are independent polities all over the map. Great!

In EB there is ~300.000 mnai/turn upkeep for the eleutheroi. How many mnai should I add to their coffers to keep them in the long run?
--- I don't want to alter their starting armies just their treasury! ---

So help me please with your thoughts on this.

Thanks!
