i think recruitment cost and upkeep should be raised

**wutnow** · September 26, 2006, 08:19 PM

at the momment i have 6 full stack armies, and 1 and 1/2 full stack navies on caimpagn along with all of my garrisons in my 29 cities, and with exactly 608,401 in the bank, i want to be able to have like maybe 2 or 3 full stack armies tops, i know youve already raised them a lot, but as long as u have some commen sense about maintaining an economy its very simple to get tons of money

I alreay almost doubled the recruitment costs and the upkeep costs, the simple fact is thast once you have a certain amount of cities the money will keep on rolling in. If i was to increase the unit costs to make it hard to recruit units even in the late game, i'd probably increase it ten fold, and that would cripple the ai.

Just start to bribe enemy cities and your 608k money will melt away very soon =) And all of your cities are building smth?

Ah, btw, good thing to spend money is war with all of your neighbors

haha

if you want a challange whit epirus i know what to do

damm

0 recruiment and 1 buldings building , 3 full golden stacks and later ... 3 turns of peace after greeks got there ass kicked of the earth

the secound diachoci war... seleucids , lysimachus wanted some land too so thrace declared war right after i took antioch , gauls are spying and war ! 2 years later , war ! Carthage ! , 1 year later , egypt is spying on me... Soon war will come

so now guys you see what a small recruiment time and toons of cash can make

but anyways i am kicking my ass... its harder then the Alexander campaign... but in a couple of words - the recruiment and upkeep is good like it is

I'm in a similar situation in my campaign as the Greeks. When I get a big build up of money, I give it all to my allies or my enemies. This lets them build up and provide a challenge for me later on.
