And about historical economy of roman empire

[GeneralFoda-se]

What i can build in roman campaign to be in maximum reality of the roman economy society in both republican and imperial era?

[AS1606]

before going through the civil war make client states instead of taking over provinces
after going through the civil war and turning into an empire then the over the provinces

Egypt was the biggest source of food, North Africa and the east was the biggest source of money
whereas the west was poorer and full of barbarian rebellions

In terms of expansion theres a good video on youtube that shows how the empire expanded using the total war map

it roughly goes...
all of Italy
islands around Italy
Illyria and the coast of Spain
macedon and more of spain
North Africa
greece/Egypt
asia minor
rest of spain
syria
gaul
further east
germany
Britain

(thats a rough guess off the top of my head theres probs a few mistakes in there)

Sicily, Greece, Africa, and eventually Egypt were the main sources of Roman grain though Greece wasn't growing the grain but importing it from Black Sea colonies. In the game keeping Sicily aside from Syracuse as an agrarian region is a bit more historical though the importance of sea ports means that for game efficiency Sicily is better income province while Africa is definitely better for income though some other regions in Carthage's starting regions are pretty good for grain. Egypt is the best grain producing province in Rome 2 no question but if following history Egypt is captured far into a campaign and if you want to level up Italian cities prior you will have to find alternate sources of grain.
