    Default Does anyone else give the AI money?

    Does anyone else give the AI money via tributes and massive cash injections via consoles (ie millions at a time)?

    I sometimes give the AI like 5 million in cash (20,000 x 200) to make them more challenging but the AI often just buys crap mercs and large skirmisher armies :(

    i personally change the script to give the romans a ridiculous amount of money. i i want to fight against the roman empire but im more of reliving history kind of guy, not a recreating history.
    it's just my preferance.

    So losing to the Roman Empire is actually winning to you?

    yes I give each faction a huge amount of money. If I knew how I would max each capital's buildings also.

    I often give tributes to smaller factions that are at war with my enemies, about 50k mnai per turn. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

    Sometimes it bites me in the arse because they become too powerful. But its a decent way of getting rid of that pesky extra money that affects Roman faction members traits.

    Doesn't EB automatically give the AI tons of money to make up for their stupidity?

    In my Romani campaign (yes I know, dreadfull isn't it), I've given a 100k to Pontos and Makedonia. At first Pontos didn't seem to do anything with it, but now they've gone rampage in Asia Minor, should be interestsing to fight them. And despite the 100k I gave the macedons, the KH destroyed them and then declared war on me, needless to say, that Hellas is now mine and the KH is exiled to Rhodos and the Black Sea.

    Sometimes it backfires. There was a 10 year period where Baktria, Parthia, and the Saka were all at war with each other. I wanted the Parthians to win, so I gave them 200,000 every turn for 10 years. Still the Baktrians won. I think all that money hurt their decision making processes.

    I gave some 5,000 in advance and another 5K in turnly tributes to the Aedui to make them do what they should have done themselves and luckily have been doing for decades: Fight the Arverni.

    I force diplomacied a similar sum to SSbQ to start the Punic war a decade too late.
