game is broken

As a matter of interest are you on Very Hard difficulty? This makes the AI relentlessly attempt to destroy you and as a result isnt very funny for many people. The game isnt broken but if you play in a certain way of the higher difficulty as a small power it becomes very difficult. Personally I have done a Bactria campaign on Hard and while it was very challenging I found this to be one of the best campaigns in EB. Try rapidly expanding East and capture part of India, then build up an army and strike at AS first, once you gain a few cities off them it becomes fairly "easy". Either this or go for AS straight off, none of its easy but that's the point of the campaign. :)

medium difficulty. And i am no rookie at this game either.
I did everything i could to mollify the seleukids, and was indeed expanding east, to no avail.
I seriously hate it though that you start losing money after one siege (or any other economically detrimental event) even though you were gaining money like no other right before that siege (or any other economically detrimental event).
