To much $

**cvo99** · October 04, 2009, 01:57 PM

i am playing roma serrectum on alexander expansion and i am receiving 30k profits per turn with only me holding what is currently italy. I am busting out too much cash and currently have out 400k. Is this suppose to happen? I'm just waiting turns for other nations to build up so it'll be more of a challenge.

it makes the game rather dull and unchallenging.

Yes and no.
If you start churning out troops and expanding everywhere at once, you will need that money.
But this is a recurrent "problem" with RS1.5 wich will be fix in RS2.
You know, once in a Syracusian campaign, I had over 20 million, and I had 300k profits a turn, but it was in late game and I had about no army at all.

If you take the slow approach, nation build, secure your borders and wait for the AI it will become very dull and your money will be endless. It isn't until you start significantly expanding that money becomes tighter....though not by much.

I've found this to be the biggest turn off of the mod as it makes you nearly invincible. Maybe if I played 0 turn it'd be different, but that would be no fun...

I can't wait till everyone starts to complain about *not* having money in RS 2

that 2x maintenance 3x recruitment (or was it the other way around...I don't know anymore) EDU mod in the sub-mods forum helps...alot...As the Romans I can now barely keep 2 pre-marian armies in the field, while controlling Italy

You won't see me complaining. I'm playing a little MTW II and damn what a balanced game. Even my best empires are struggling with cash I hope the economy plays as strictly as this in RS2.

That's for sure.

**Octavius-Augustus** · October 05, 2009, 03:44 AM

It's 2x2x costs/upkeep and it does help solve such cash issues. Beware though, as the AI has a much smaller limit of units, sometimes it overproduces navies and is stuck without a proper army. Which of course isn't fun at all. Doesn't happen often, though. Overall good submod, you should try it.

**Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze** · October 05, 2009, 05:05 AM

well, I don't notice that...could be because the AI get's bonus-money

(hard difficulty)

Could be, but I believe I also play on Hard. Maybe it was just the AI being werid as Macedon (they were the ones with tons of navies).

i spend up to 100,000 on buildings every tern but i do have over 70 regions

play europa barborum, or IBFD as the western roman empire, and you will like it if you enjoy a tough economy.

**Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze** · October 09, 2009, 02:47 PM

I play, or have played pretty much every mod here, and most of them are balanced, if not all of them.

@Octavius-Augustus

Yeah, that happens in my game too sometimes, don't know why, but the AI just starts spamming navies now and then.

**Gromovnik** · October 17, 2009, 06:53 AM

I never had too much money.

**Medieval American** · October 17, 2009, 07:16 AM

Never too much money! Even if I have 50 million... I need 50 more.

**Timefool** · October 18, 2009, 11:17 PM

1.6 fixed this by alot for Rome. I went from 30k easy per turn to just managing 10. Makes it much more fun to start.

**Fridericus Rex** · October 19, 2009, 02:03 PM

Yes, if you play as Rome.
I played the Iberian recently and was in the RED for the first few turns, and even later I could hardly build enough troops to cover a two front war. Play another faction and you may see the difference.

**D.B. Cooper** · October 19, 2009, 06:50 PM

Rome is filthy rich, I actually have to give away huge amounts of money to my allies to prevent corrupt character traits. And like the TC said that's only Italy.
