Infinite money

I am looking forward to this mod because it is the only equivalent of RTR and some people based on personal preferences think its even better!

I was wondering however doe sthe AI get infinite money VH or not? because it would really ruin a major aspect of the game if they do. In both vanilla and RTR I loved blockading the carthaginians and watching as numidia tore them apart!

First off, next time, only click 'submit new thread' ONCE.

Secondly, yes, the AI is scripted to be given additional money when they start falling badly in debt. I don't consider it a bad aspect of the game personally. It prevents factions from simply self-destructing, making them more fun to continue to fight, and since the AI can't really use the money effectively, it is not a true advantage for them.

So they will not have infinite money in the positive range?

how much more do they get a turn and do they get money at say.. -1 or say -10000

I'm not sure when they get extra cash but here is a screen shot of why they need it...

The AI just isn't smart enough, so they get a little help once in awhile. It makes it more fun and helps balance out the fact that they suck at managing money. And yes that's from RTR not EB

The AI gets a certain amount when it falls so far into debt - I think something around 20,000 a turn, but due to the cost of supporting troops that may not actually be that much. When I was fighting Carthage I had blockaded their ports while they still had several standing stacks of armies and they were in the red the rest of the game - that is until I had to stop playing due to bugs.
