You can't get banned for criticising a past civilisation, no matter how unwarranted it is. You can, however, make an exceedingly poor impression on the other regulars here who would find that comment completely nonsensical and malicious.

I'm glad that my attempt at comic relief reached someone's senses... I just realized how much of a politically correct society we live in when some dude named "Maximum Nike" makes a threat because of a good natured joke... I mean come on... barbarians... bunch of boxes... of donkey manure... u don't get it Air Maxy??? Learn some humor bro.
Oh and thanks for the greetings... I feel so loved. :D

I don't honestly see the problem. Most of the AI factions, without the scripted boni, would literally be broke the first turn. Try playing any of the other factions. When they're broke, they freeze. They either throw their armies against the rebel settlements or against their starting enemies, then stop. They cannot build buildings or recruit armies, so they just camp out where they are and acclimate debt. So, you as Rome, get around to invading Gaul and find both the Aedui and Arverni where they started out at, and bowl over them and the rebel settlements, easy as pie. How fun is that? Caesar didn't just walk to the English Straight chuckling to himself the whole time at how effortless the whole endeavor was.
You have a human brain, the least the enemy gets is money to hire armies to fight against you.
If you want to give the AI less money (instead of none at all), you might want to change that 20.000 into 10.000 or 15.000. But as others stated, this will parallize the AI-factions. The Aedui are 'likely' to build a fleet or some elite units and be broke for the rest of the game.
In a perfect world (hint: EB2?) the AI would receive extra money for each settlement it owns. A small amount for Saba and your Aedui, a huge amount for the Seleucids.
