Hi
Getai ecomony
I have played this faction at least 20 times, probably a lot more over the past three months. Almost without exception economically it seems to loose half its revenue after 4-6 turns.
Currently (year 270) having captured the obvious coastal target and reduced my army by half, put a mounted unit in the only available village, the income of my capital has still dropped by over 50%.
This is not an odd exception.
I have replayed this scenario five times, trying differing strategies, since the last release and this scenario has been repeated each time. My only guess is there seems to be a huge impact from devastation as there are at least four large rebel armies locally which are mostly too strong to attack. I generally rout the one small rebel army close to the capital in the first turn.
To role play this to recover you would have to reduce your armies to almost nothing and with five large rebel armies on your doorstep would be an unnatural decision.
Is the area of effect of devastation too large?
Is the fiscal effect of devastation too great?
Am I barking up the wrong tree and just a bad player? :)
