With Marians Reform Decrease the money,Why?

[verenuspulo]

The SPQR mod is wonderful and exciting, but I have a question ...
I started the Marian reform before that I grew as much as possible, the economy and population of the cities which I obtained.
The problem is that money, the treasure is always too little, not enough to recruit legionaries Imperial, for example;
To raise money and treasure that I have to take more territory ...
Thanks for all your help!

PS: I built all the buildings that make the economy grow and others, as well as in all my cities ...
I alread increased rate and decrease slow, but made no result ..

Don't quite understand your problem.
But a good way to get more cash is to conquer cities with mines. First Arretium, Darantasia and Reghion will be your economic mainstay. After this, I recommend getting some of the mines in Spain, some good mines over there too. You might want to disband units that draws alot of upkeep, for example don't keep a larger fleet than necessary, or disband it after you are done transporting/fighting. But tbh, not many complain about too little cash

Also, new troops are mroe expensive then the older ones.

Something else, are you building REALISTIC Legions or all the same units like all 1st cohorts? if thats the case you will not have enough money for Legions. The Game is balanced to be played like I do, and that means Legions that only have 10 cohorts in them. Also the use of Auxilia Legions to fill in gaps around the Empire like Rome did in real life.

Let us know some of your strategy and Army compositions and then maybe we can help as to why you run out of money more.

Greatest way to keep money while fighting. Focus on one area, one powerful army and then focus on garrisons. I always got one main army to do everything and keep the garrisons as small as possible within my own territory

Not going to work. Trust me Well that depends if you play with script and by house rules, otherwise I assume its possible.

[Dillinja]

problem with that tactic though is only one army gets the experience and would be decimated very quickly especially if you invade greece or something...

Hi, with all do respect, but you should add more legions to the Roman faction.

[Ejergard]

Isn't 28 enough?
Besides this, you can use alot of auxilia and imitation legions aswell.

[lt1956]

Rome only used 28 legions, except later its was 32 for the late empire. Also you are suppose to use AUXILIA legions which is what Rome did,

[ponti117]

Ok, let me rephrase that, can you add more units to all factions, and in the game when is Marian reform starts?

[ponti117]

I did. But Im human, humans always wants more.

[Marcus Licinius]

it depends on what time line you are talking about, the empire had 28, but Octavian inherited 60 legions from the civil wars

[ponti117]

When can do you get a legionary cav.?

[Ejergard]

As it says in the FAQ, they have been removed. Roman Cav is best domestic unit you get
