Hello everyone, not been on here for a while. I just watched Gladiator, and after i stopped crying at the end, i realized it had given me a craving to play to play a Romani campaign in EB.

Last time i tried this i got too frustrated at having to fight 5+ stacks of Germanian barbarians every turn, making my turns take no less than about an hour and a half, which stopped me from getting to even the Polybian reforms, which ruined the campaign and the experience.

I remember a thread where people were talking of lowering the amount of money handed out to the AI every turn, and i tried a few of them, but all it seemed to do was make the AI crash economically and stand still without conquering or going to war.

So, has anybody come up with a solution to fix the endless hordes of AI stacks? Or are we all still fighting 10 battles each turn?
