mordor economy...

[larrylaffer]

Hello,

I am playing 3.0 with Mordor and i have a huge problem with economy....

At the very first, i made like 2 half stack armies and captured cair andros, w. osgiliath, henneth anun and the two rebel settlements that are south of e. osgililath

problem is.. i have 30k in debt... and it keeps growing

i just dont know why, i dont have too many troops.. i keeo losing man in constant battles and i cant replenish them. Worse of all, i keep killing those damn gondorians armies and they just come back.

Just know, an gondor army of 1200 men tried to assault w. osgiliath... and i defend it with only 1300 (one gondor soldier equals like 5 orcs...). For a miracle, i won, but i lost all of my men and the two generals.
And even so, I KEEP LOOSING MONEY!

Well i though "that is... i killed them all.. they cannot send more men against me..."
Next turn, 1300 mens assaulted cair andros.... then i cried.

For short, i think that is needed to review the economy and growth system for all factions, is not fun to wait like 100 turns to create a decent army to invade all my enemies...

If you have any suggestion, i am open ears (or eyes...)

Regards.

I play with the epic campaign submod which, amongst many other things, increases the kings purse and gives you more money. I've never had debt problems after that

The one thing that solved my economy issues was Minas Tirith. I found turtling at the beginning of the game to be bad. I also didn't advance in Mirkwood till I had a sufficient force protecting my advance into Gondor (keep enough of an army in Minas Tirith to protect from Rohan attacks while pushing Gondor back).

Maybe you can use the Baron submod and play without stack spam that would fix your too numerous enemy.
And should stat by building economical buit like mine etc.
