another strange situation i'm noticing and maybe the campaign was made to be this way but when i play as maks i dont have an army near pella, but when i played as epirus there was.
also, the first time i played as epirus i had decent populations in my cities, 2k+ and taras had some 4k. now the second time i dont have a city over 2k and taras is only 1,200. huh?
also also, my profits took a plunge mid-turn without building anything. all i did was attack and annihilate a mak army. before the battle i was running -10k profits. after it said -14k??? this after multiplying the resource values by 4 (the 5 and 4 ones),6 (the 2.66 ones),and 8 (the 1.66 ones). on the other hand carthage runs at a nice profit after the first two turns of about 5k profit. the huge difference between these two factions profits after multiplying the resource values was something else i was afraid of. ultimately the infrastructure of all factions just needs to be tweaked to help out the little guy and hinder the bullies.
another strange thing. i exterminated pella spreading 6k population and none of my cities increased in population. the very fact that pella had 8k while my epirote cities began with under 2k is kind of odd. hell i dont even have enough citizens and barracks to raise half a decent stack.
EDIT: shortly after taking pella and replenishing my forces after a hard fought battle, i'm now running a profit of about 3-4k. thats a huge leap from -14k. i've conscripted the hell out of pella too.
