0 and 1 turn, h/vh and money ?

[Hampsicora]

Hello,
thanks to a lot of people on this forum i realized i was playing without rgeard to settings etc., so what i first did was play RTW with RS 1.5a as Carthage.

In my first campaign i had installed RS with the 0 turn feature on or so i thought. I set the settings to h/vh, and started the game.
Despite building farms, traders and roads, and not too many armies i was soon bankrupt. Then there was rioting all over my cities, and even setting taxes to the lowest level, and building all that would support happiness i never gained control again. Thus i lost Spain, Sicily and had no money to rebuild destroyed buildings let alone any armies, which then only accelerated the deterioration of my "empire" lol. Was a sobering experience to see the free people have army stacks i only could dream of. I lost all my armies in fighting Syracuse and free people in Africa.
Only then i realized (as Victor Maximus told me) to invade Spain and build up the economy there - my strategy had been to get Africa first, but it did not turn out as economically worth it.
And i thought i was good at it lol, Roma surrectum sure is more realistic in every respect.

Then i read those settings were alright, but i should try the 1-turn setting.

However i wanted the 0-turn setting to try it out once more: When i copied the files to my data folder it warned to overwrite the two files, having another size and date of creation. So i must have had the 1-turn files installed before (?)
So i started a new imperial career: 0-turn, h/vh again, no battle time limit, as Carthage once more. However now things turned out completely differrent:

Instead of a production of some 20.000 money, and spending this amount for building etc. in the previous campaign i now have a production of 40.000+ per turn, with an upkeep of some 20.000 - and can spend 20.000 of it for building EVERY turn.

Is there something wrong with my installation, or is the 0-turn thing supposed to work this way ? I am sorry but i did not find a complete list of the Roma surrectum features, there are only small hints here and there - or maybe i am too dumb to find it ?

Thanks and greetings,

Yes the 0-turn mode increases the amount of money you generate by a massive amount. I was getting 2k a turn with 1 turn Carthage on H, but about 10-20k on 0-turn. I think it's to balance the huge armies that you can create via 0-turn and the gameplay it changes.

Hello Taelok,
read and understood. I hope the other factions will also turn out bigger armies for a balanced gameplay ?

Anytime Hampsicora. Yes the other factions will respond to your invasions and increased military activity. On 1-turn there are still many stacks heading your way, on 0-turn there are far more and you'll find it a great challenge.

Good luck.
