Some questions.

I want to download this mod.

I remember downloading the mod in the past and i had this main problem:

Economy, i coudnt get a stable economy, i was always on decline no matter what i did.


Is this mod-foldered?

And how can i get a stable economy in this mod?

EB is mod-foldered, yes

as for economy, you need to be careful with how you spend. i can't say for harder factions like Pontus, Pahlava, etc, but for someone like rome/carthage/epeiros, you need to build up mines, roads, ports, etc, and also manually set taxes as high as you can.

remember, units are a LOT more expensive than vanilla, and unless you need it, don't keep an army or fleet, especially in the early game.

Saka is probably the hardest faction to start with, especially if you are new to EB. I think they also have the worse economy. Blitz the nearest cities, and keep in the red till you slowly, painfully almost, make some profits. From then on, bid your time, and then attack other cities.

For the economy, it is very difficult to maintain the economy in profit for the first few turns. The only faction I have managed this with is Seleucia. There seems to be two different trains of thought, depending on which faction you are playing with:
1) Disband most of your army and build up the Roads, Markets, Farms and (in particular) mines - I do this with the Cassse.
2) Try and blitz your enemies with what troops you have, conquer a few cities and accept the financial loss, and then disband part of your army - many do this with Pahlava and Saka.
Either way, it would be a good idea to disband your navies at the end of the first turn, and any super-expensive elite troops with high upkeep.

It was easy to stabilize the economy as the Saka, i took some lands off the the Seleucids, made some heroic victories here and there, enjoying it atm.
