A thread on the single-player forum gave me a new idea. The poster told us that he´d managed to create a truly epic total war with epic battles simply by patiently "feeding" his rival factions with money.

While I don´t like the idea of doing this myself, it gave me a modding idea - why not either reduce the costs of everything in the game to a fraction of the original, or somehow increase the amount of money in the game by a great deal?

Wouldn´t this inevitably have the same effects - truly epic battles, numerous armies etc...?

Have any of you tried and tested this?
