    Default Ouch....

    Hey, new to EB. Question: Is there ANY way to avoid massive debt as the Arverni, without leaving yourself vulnerable to the Aedui? Because My debt got all the way to ~-14000 Mnai before my economy is on track. Now I have anywhere from 7 to 14 turns before I'm out of debt.

    Most factions start out in debt, thats the challenge and fun of taking a small nation and turning them into a huge power house.

    My advice would be to try and stick it out, build armies in war and disband them in peace. Take rebel settlements and take huge vulnerable cities if not only for the plunder.

    I figured as much. I booted up the game looking at my financial scroll, thinking that there HAD to be a reason for these terrible finances.

    That's going to be interesting, then. Economic hardship is not something one generally has to deal with in the vanilla game. It's also comforting to know the AI generally has the same problem early on as well.

    Celtic Slingers.

    Half a dozen or so against any early Celtic army will do the trick, providing you you have Gaeros or the like of at least 1:2 to the enemy and a general to massarcre routers.

    Fight battles against the Aedui. It protects you from them and you don't have to pay dead soldiers.

    Also build roads right away in all your settlements.

    you'll go about 10,000-15,000 into debt but once you beat the Aedui your safe from outside threats for a while so you can disband most of your army.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
