    If ever we can do multiplayer strat games I sense spies and assasins will be big.

    Very big.

    Well, you answered your own question when you said they just sat there and did nothing. Over fifty turns, you make a lot of money, but if you are like most players, you spend it quite quickly. One way to think of it is that there are thousands of people who work all their lives & if you add up the total amount of money they earned over the years, it could be millions of dollars, but at no one time in their life did they have more than at most, $10,000 in the bank. They spent it as quickly as it came. Also, so far as I can see, RTW economics are more advanced, meaning that you can really bring in the dough if you are clever.
    Fee Fi Fo Fum, I got in me veins the blood of an Englishman, Welshman, Saxon, Anglo, Scotsman, Picti, Irishman, Norman, and a bloody heathen Viking. No joke!

    This idiotic message brought to you by a person with a pure "British" family tree. If it settled on the British Isles, its on my tree tree, except Romans. Cheers!

    Yeah, but I just can't see anyone sitting around for 50 turns. It would be boring and there is not point to do that. In real life there is a reason to save money but in RTW there really is no reason to have a big treasury. It should be spent on a better army so that you can crush more factions. Whenever my treasury got above 20k I would start churning out a bunch more units until the upkeep evened out. I could have 10 full armies going around taking new provinces. There's really no point in hording money in RTW.

    I have about a dozen full-stacks running around in my RTR game, with more units being built every turn in my various training centers (ex: Sparta-Corinth-Athens) and I still make a profit every turn.

    The reason you may do it in RTW is to speed the actual time you play up.

    Sit around for 50 turns,

    During your turn the only thing you do is send out diplomats and build trade facilities. End Turn. Rinse and repeat.

    You then have a large amount of cash and heirs to go and fight with.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
