What happened?

Rome campaign. M/M (ya I know I suck)

Ok well first off I had 35-45k income per turn and I had most of Italy -2 that Boii has there. I sent 3 full stacks to Carthage captured it as well as 2 city's south of it and several turns after that my income plunges down completely and I'm loosing 10-15k per turn.

Next thing I know I'm getting rioting everywhere in Italy even Rome rioted. 1 of the city's south of Carthage rebelled so I know have roman rebels to deal with there as well as my city in Spain rebelled and the roman rebels are there to.

I have Greek Allies bombarding me with fleets all over I have been mainly fighting them at sea.

I have Macedon assuming I started a Italy touring business so they have an army walking throughout Italy! Made me bit annoyed so i attacked them and now we are at war and they have another army in north heading south for same thing.

Now I have Averni(sp?) declaring war on me and invaded in the north with 4 and half stacks my army in the north is now unorganized due to trying to control the riots.

Lost 3stacks in Carthage area due to plunge of my income and also going to loose Carthage soon. 1stack in south but keeping it there in case Greeks decide to take the war to land. 1 stack at Rome just in case anyone felt lucky =( so i have no idea what happened! I went from a strong military position and economy to a crappy econ and a scattered military.

before going out and invading do you need to save up a ton of money or am i doing something wrong?

Well in regards to the economy, these may help, i dont know if this is what happened to your economy, but it explains that certain things you do can ruin your economy in the long run.

You probably just need to build a few buildings that will bring some happiness or reduce your taxes a bit. Keep an eye on your settlements' happiness. Certainly nothing scripted....presumably you've had the initial rebellion in the first couple of years?

shoot i had that rebellion i think on the 2nd 3rd turn wasn't to bad though.

Ya i will have to recruit some spys then i think that maybe a possible reason since I've been catch them spys here and there.

and yes Carthage must be destroyed but they aren't going down like they should =(

Did you just declare war/get declared on by an ally? Check the city details to see what the negatives of the happiness are. That should tell you what the problem is. If you recently rose taxes try lowering them. If there was a population boom, you probably did not keep up with law buildings. There is also the chance that there are spies; recruit spies in the rioting cities to spot other spies.
