It's my first DEI game (just in learning/noob mode). I certainly don't need any money. I followed some of Jackie's tips early on.
I am now about 110 years (4 TPY) in and have about $6.5M. I was thinking of skipping veteran legions segmentata and just buying a few brigades of main battle tanks instead with all that money.
