BTW, for the people who have difficulty fighting peasant units... just get some archers. I rarely go into hand-to-hand combat unless I absolutely must. All other times, I just shower my enemies with arrows until they're entirely destroyed.

In the case of a siege, I never bash open the gates immidately, but I send my archer units near the walls to shower the enemies over at the other side with arrows and decimate/obliterate their units. Works every time.

I really hate phalax units... they're too slow in moving (even when they stand in formation) and they rarely a problem for me as I kill them off with skirmishers and archers while they approach me with their akwardly slow phalax formation.

Another archer fan...

Try Scythia, if you are a real archer fan.

Anyway, I tested my theory that unit production is based more on income than stockpiles, and I have concluded that it is correct.

I changed the amount of money that the S.E. has, and the amount of money produced by the various regions of the S.E. I found that when they have a high production, regardless of stockpile levels, they tend to produce better quality units. In fact, I never saw a peasant at all.

Rather than altering the amount of money they have, alter the amount of money they produce, and you will see much better results.

Do you change the amount of money a settlement produces by changing this?

Code:

level city
	region Macedonia

	year_founded 0
	population 6000
	settlement_tax 51
	plan_set default_set
	faction_creator macedon

Yes, that is one way.
You can also change the resources available in a given region, thus increasing trade income.

Is there another way? I'd like to do some further testing.

Start them off with bigger towns maybe? After all, correct me if i'm wrong, but Bigger Towns = Bigger Income

That's true. I'll get back on whether it is total income, or one of either taxes or trade.

How do you upgrade the towns, for example would it be great to let the seleucids start with huge cities..

I tried out this:

level huge_city
region Syria

year_founded 0
population 25000
settlement_tax 51
plan_set default_set
faction_creator macedon
building
{
type core_building royal_palace
}

What have I done wrong??
