I have a few questions:

I am having trouble with $. Playing regular RTW, I always liked to have something being built in all my cities and have at least 4 units of troops in all my cities. Correct me if I am wrong: This is not realistic in EB. I have been using the $ cheat in my first campaign; I want to get a feel for the game.

This game seems like it is going to take a LONG time (4 turns per year), not to mention how long the turns take. Will more RAM make the turns go by quicker? Is there anything to make the turns go quicker? I wanted to have a more hitorically accurate game, unfortunaltly I don't have that much time. I know Rome wasn't built in a day, but how about 4 weekends? It will take a year to complete this game.

Everything about it seems great though, just what I was looking for.
