-game balance- Yuezhi are hard to play as!
Maybe I'm just not very good at this, but it seems like the Yuezhi are very hard to play as. They start with a negative income, and their neighbouring rebel cities are well stocked with troops. I found myself doing nothing each turn for a very long time just so I could build up enough money for an army. I guess this is because its the beta release to get the bugs out, but just in case I thought I'd mention it.
I've never played the Yuezhi, so don't know if your difficulty was intended, but I will note that difficulty 'balance' is not a major concern; many factions are difficult because they were historically in a difficult situation.

A lot of factions have that sort of situation too. EB isn't trying to make expansion is easy or fast.
History is for the future not the past. The dead don't read.

Keep in mind that eb is 4 turn/year , be patient

Yuezhi is pretty easy, concentrate your forces towards the city to your north first, which belongs to the Wu Su independants I believe. Conquer them, disband all units except maybe a couple subeshi archers and you will see 1000 income per year or more, gaurunteed.
Civis
yeah, that's exactly what I did, but my income was more like 800 per turn. The only units I bought were those archers that have no upkeep. If not for that I couldn't afford an army. Meanwhile Baktria, and Parthia had taken the rebel settlements that I was working up to attacking. I went south to the only adjacent rebel settlement but my way was blocked in the pass by a Bactrian army.

One of those Yuezhi ones Brian. Subeshi Archers I believe.

I didn't find the Yuehzi too hard, but I didn't play them for very long. I disbanded practically all my units at the start, and then expanded slowly.

21k in 254! I have had a max of 14k and im now in 59...It's seems most of you people can't play better than the AI

No, I'm pretty sure that their actual upkeep is zero. When I was playing my camapaign I was tight on money so I built about 12 Subeshi Archers, and I was still getting the same profit just about.

Hmm, I wonder what upkeep they were supposed to have...
*Wanders off to look at the other Yuehzi upkeeps and figure out a decent upkeep level.
