Sacking as income.

Once played a Saka campaign in which I pushed to Indian ocean in 10 years and razed almost every city on my way. But no matter how many cities I razed and how many armies I destroyed, I got little satisfaction from it. I prefer to watch my cities growing.
Oh, and another reason might be that I'm an infantry lover, always have a weakness for those closely packed orderly solid infantry battle line who marched slowly but firmly towards enemies.

Not a reincarnation of a WW1 General are you?

If an EB campaign could last more than 2k years all the way to WW1 era, of course I will adjust my tactics according to the calendar...

I think exterminating money bonus are proportional to the population, no matter how backward the town is....

BTW, if you want to got filthy rich, you could always type : add_population Roma 10000
repeat for several tens of times just before you start to assault Roma, and you could get thousands minai easily...

Where's the great difference to the add_money cheat?
Only a real fanatic can burn down Roma several times and still find it funny. Usually I only get some sort of satisfaction when I destroy the cities of a strong enemy and in EB Rome doesn't belong to these...

Rome is about the only faction that I have really raided/sacked with any frequency. That being said, the reason why is they are the faction that I typically have the most trouble going toe-to-toe with due to the triarii spamming that occurs.
