Athens - Why isn't it part of the Greek Cities?

I'd suggest taking the rest of the peninsula while you're at it. I played the long campaign as the Brutii, and can attest to them rolling in dough once they've the trade income of the Greek cities in their coffers.

I'm playing long Brutii campaign now, and I've got all the GCS and so much Dinari I don't know what to do with it. I bribe everyone outside range of an army stack. I buy everything in the build queue. I've got fleets I don't even know about anymore. And still the money piles up.

Those GCS and Sinope are money makers.

Odds are you'll start accumulating the assorted corruption-related flaws pretty soon, but then again with that kind of income at least the financial penalties are irrelevant. When the Civil War started (and caught me a little pants down) I had over 100,000 denarii in the bank, and after twenty years of two-front war with Egypt and all the other Romans at once I still had about 20,000 left when I captured the last of the fifty provinces.

If you're not the Brutii and they own Greece, it's well worth trying to kick them out of there. Actually, scratch that - whoever owns Greece, kick him out ASAP so the money gets decent use.

In my first campaign, as Julii, while poking around east of home, I noticed the Mausoleum, read the description and thought 'Nice'. So, I built a big army and sent them over to talk about a little trade.

I noticed that after finally pacifying that lot, my money started to climb, really fast.

I think from now on, whatever campaign, the GCS will be a big priority. They are so RICH.

I've seen over 8k off athens with fully upgraded buildings and a good general. Luckily it was mine at the time :)
