Well can you imagine the Scythians with their cheap as hell horse archers taking some of those rich greek cities? They will steamroll everyone!!! And making all provinces same as far income is concerned doesnt sound very attractive... With the ZoR idea we have multiple benefits:
1. We keep the economic side of the map pluralist and historical (Nomad Scythians, Rich Seleucids/Ptolemies, Balanced Romans).
2. We can make units cheap for the poor civs and expensive for the rich.
3. We avoid ganging and blitzing.
If we dont do that we either:
1. Have to make all provines same as far as the income is concerned.
2. Have to make all units cost the same as in Vanilla RTW (which will kill Numidia, Scythia, Germania etc)
Also this way the game will be VERY balanced IMO since the blitz madness expansion wont happen that easily.
BTW Ive finished converting the Eastern factions to RTR units:
The cataphracts now have a bow instead of mace since the RTR model doesnt have one.
Every unit has been replaced by a RTR one as far as the look is concerned.
Also Im planning to make these Civs even more unique alas:
Parthia/Scythia: No infantry AT ALL BUT cheaper than Armenians' Horse Archers and some more variety in the Cavalry.
Still there are some Issues with the fantasy units, I cant find anywhere any models/skins for the Scythian female warriors.

RTR has this.... well... siegefest map whith a HUGE number of tightly packed cities so its quite hard to play espesially in MP.
BTW what about the RTR Light mod?
Can you start converting the Romans? Or anyone you want...
