How can I give the computer larger armies?

You can give the enemy 99999999999 denarii at start. It would probably require more modding to let the AI factions get more money each turn, instead of all at once(btw, the AI already do that at VH, I think).

To increaser the starter money, go into the file
\\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.
You can also change starter units and buildings there as well.

Don`t know how to turn of bribing, tho.

Gah, it`s supposed to say \descr_strat, but some reason the board does not allow me to write just that.
