    you realize that the game has certain limits right?

    There are things which can't be represented by this game.

    Makedonia was a country depopulated and devastated by war
    Try to view the mine you're building as the process it would take to reopen, bring up to full production, secure transports and whatever else.

    Exactly.

    Besdies, in those days it was easy to burn down mines. Even just neglected mines would collpase fairly fast.

    That is realy not an issue... If you look at the Descr_start.txt (the file in where you see what EB team is made for us to have on the Campaign start) -- you can see that Pelle is the only (well in this case) region that 'had population problems and wars before' - the same argument would go for any Successor state and not to say Barbarians - they had no peace situation either.. and they even tend to die in a much lower average life rate (in years) then the Greeks for example.. so even Barbs had population problems.. but thes still have mines.. .. so, I understand EB wish to balance the game they made - but I wont say ok always.. this is just one debate..

    And the game has limits.. Foot once wrote about probs that 1.5 engine brought to them by more hardcoded engine.. so

    The only "barber" settlement that has mines from the start is Sarmisze-... the unpronouncable city in Getia Koile province, and that's a rebel settlement. So no, "barbarians" don't have mines in the beginning. But as someone already said, Macedonia was divided in 272 BCE with Pella itself controlled by Epirus.
    That alone might wreck some administrative infrastructure.


    Btw, TA's post didn't actually answer to anything that ross1025 asked. I just thought the O'ETAIPOS's post gave at least one answer.
