-Bartering/Money Economic System-(WIP as in its description)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Craftsmen(Money) is a start of the economic tree for the Romans as livestock(Bartering) is for the Barbarian factions. The trees will diverge and how much they do so depends on the culture or faction. All factions will be able to at least start off with craftsmen and livestock economic trees but depending on the culture or faction the economic trees will differ in their progression. Most factions to varying degrees will have access to the Money monetary system but all factions will have access to the Bartering monetary system that ends with Kingdom’s Raison d’être. For the Roman factions a decision must be made as to what economic tree they will want to fully invest in. The Money system holds greater economic rewards but is a greater expense to create and maintain. Factions such as the Roman Britones and the Romano British have lesser access to the higher and better Money system compared to the Romans and this continues to dwindle down to certain Barbarian factions such as the Franks, Visigoths and Ostrogoths. As these Barbarian factions conquer and then try to control these Roman regions they will have the ability to uphold the current established economic system there. But the Roman economic system by this time may have already begun to blur into a hybrid bartering money system thus making the changeover a smooth one. The Bartering system is available to all the factions. Its rewards are not as great as the Money system but cheaper and easier to construct.
The income from developing the economic trees shows up in the construction of certain economic buildings such as the market and farms. Having the traditional Roman curiales class developed will increase tax bonuses from your farms compared to cattle farming in the Kingdom’s Raison d’être economic tree. All factions are privy to the curial building since all factions either eventually developed a tax basis to draw upon or it was assimilated from once-held Roman lands. Both are at a similar level in their respective economic trees and are representative of money and bartering. For the Romans the curial class used the Money system more so than the Bartering system but did at this time begin supplementing money for grain. For the other factions the Bartering system was more prevalent under the curial class. The curial class tree gives the greater economic rewards compared to the bartering trees equivalent, cattle farming. Its also important to note the curial class will provide a higher income for the Romans in comparison to one under a Barbarian faction but even so the profits are still greater for any faction than cattle farming.
The Money system of minting of coins and having a treasury (very limited to a few regions) will produce greater tax bonuses as they are indicative of the having the highest levels of wealth for any society. Only the most advanced factions such as the Romans and Sassanids are able to construct them. They can display their wealth by way of a Kingdom's treasury and then either the Roman Senate (Romans) or the Sassanid Palace of Ctesiphon (Sassanids). Certain Barbarian factions may occupy these buldings but they can't build them. The Bartering system's highest building level, the Kingdom’s Raison d’être economic tree, needs to be developed in the feudalistic Lords Fort building tree. The highest ranking classes of that tree are the nobles and royal families. Its symbolic of a kingdom with a castlelike centralized political center for the Barbarian factions. For the Romans and a privileged few Barbarian factions, its the Villas (those on the Continent) that are turned into fortresses-and then possibly into the Kings Court.
The curiales are more representative of the Roman type institutions and are established in their traditional areas(AOR) at the start of the campaign. It gives the Roman factions a higher economic standing to start off with. Within Roman/Romano lands the curial class was and is a pivotal aspect for continued economic growth. One with more econimic potential if properly invested in. The neglect of the curiales can result in the further disintegration of the economic system -- not only occurring outside traditional Roman lands but inside as well. For these type factions, curiales can be developed outside their traditional holdings but how it is fostered will depend upon the player's personal approach to the game, and thus give rise to the possibility of VLTRA GLORIAM ROMAE: Beyond Roman Glory once again.

Tough (Financially), but not as tough as the last version. I can at least build one building a turn now and I'm smashing the Romans every time they cross the bridge into our territory. I forgot how much garrisoned soldiers influence a town's economy.
It feels very good surrounding a unit of Roman spearmen and smashing them with heavy cavalry, killing all but 3 men within seconds.
I would very much LOVE to play your mod, but I can't download or even access, as my IE crashes each time I try to access the 4 (Gamefront) documents. Do you plan to upload your mod elsewhere? Is there anyone experiencing the same bug?
Thanks in advance, as I am eagerly expecting to play!

Will do so hopefully tonight. We post back in a few hours in this regard
