How to make money!

[PershsNhpios]

Very noble and respectable replies, which I have been waiting for.

I have adopted an apparently successful financial package, as I have stated previously here, however it is a grand thing to hear the attempts of others. This was however partly due to luck, as for once the Eleutheroi did begin their campaigns while I was beginning mine!
I have not yet tried fortune yet as an Eastern nation, I will follow my Casse campaign and it's reports hopefully to the finish.

Upon assaulting a settlement as the Casse, I made sure my besieging army was weaker than the garrison.
This made the garrison sally forth immediately.
I then created a horseshoe of slingers surrounding the front gate, as the enemy tired and were brutalized by shot as they sallied, and my men started to lose ammunition, I lessened the horseshoe and then ravaged all survivors with my chariots before they arrived back in the town.
Then it was simply a matter of breaking down the gates if there were any survivors.

Of course, I have not yet landed on the continent yet, so my Celtic tacts only stretch as far as guerilla warfare in the north has allowed.
Though I am very apprehensive of my upcoming campaign away from the homeland, which is why I wanted to develop a diplomatical frenzy before I arrived, which is why I asked about.. well, cheating!

I agree with your opinion of forts, Sygod, as they are not used nearly enough, considering they are now freely built!
However as the Casse, I doubt such a situation could be successful with the multitude of the enemy, I had to be very wily to win my battles in Britannia.
Your words I will keep in mind when I war on the continent however.

Finally, about this money mod.

I would be so grateful as to buy six rounds and cashew nuts/chips for everyone at the EB Royal, if someone could find a way of downloading it other than the links given on the author's thread.
I have tried all things asked of me, and have not succeeded at all.
As far as I know, this file is but 5kb, so it would not be very much to host.
(Ahem.. *hint*!).
I have heard it makes the AI far more realistic in growth, I do not know whether it is save-game compatible, but I would prefer it rather than the Casse playing bonk-a-horrifically-large-stack within the next 50 years.

You are swiftly responsive, and have the helpful dedication of a true ape, Monkey! I wonder if they serve vanilla coke with bananas at the old EB, and if so, I am going to find you a nice, monkey sized stool and I will pay for you to drink and eat as long as you wish!
Thank you very much, you have granted me the most in my questions here!

Oh, so apes are more dedicated and helpful than monkeys, eh? They're better than us, is that what you're saying? Gah! Apes are lesser beings! Look at their tails! Look at their tails!! Can you see them? No! You can't see them, because they don't have any! Tailless apes are inferior to us long-tailed monkeys! We are the Master Race!


... oh, and what makes you think that I like vanilla coke? The bananas will be graciously accepted, though.
