My backlog is pretty large, but theyвЂ™re all RPGs or grognard games and my passion lately has been stuff thatвЂ™s a little easier to get into. This lead me to open expensive trade routes to two other cities to get steel.Дitto on the exportвЂ¦ I was exporting furniture, and thought I had hit the limit forever on how much I could export for the whole game, not just the year.ДЄrise! LetвЂ™s dust off the 5 years of accumulated dust on this corpse.ДЄfter I quickly grew bored of Frozen Synapse and I managed to polish off Railroad Tycoon 3 in little more than a weekend, I found myself again scouring the web for another game. I thought I could only import 10 more steel from that place, having no idea that it rolled over to 60 again in a year. When I was trying to make 50 weapons I imported steel from a place the exported 60 steel. The numbers of goods that trade cites import/export are not totals, they are only yearly totals. Something I didnвЂ™t realize, that was a total slap the forehead moment. Consider it a lucky break.ДЇor some reason I find your solution to be pretty damn funny.ДЄnyhow, I restarted the game and built my economy in such a way that I paid off the invaders and eventually won. Personally I think the game should be fixed to allow enemies on the wrong side of the river to just disband quickly because of their tactical stupidity rather then preventing them from spawning there in the first place. It seems if there is no way for them to path to an objective, they will stand there forever and never leave. They will go and tear up the houses and then eventually leave. They bad guys will then have something to do. Just build some cheap houses on the other side. I dunno if you can, but there is a trick I have used on split maps where there were enemies on the wrong side of the road. Rome demands things if thereвЂ™s a penalty for not fulfilling. Note that in Burdigala, those armor and weapon requests are just requests - theyвЂ™re for favor bonuses for fulfilling. Trade does stop while enemies are around. DeepTвЂ™s trick might help to get them moving. Invaders usually leave if they canвЂ™t find anything to do. Ships need to use the river, so you can only build the taller (ship) bridges. You can build (ship) bridges in Burdigala, just not the lower cheaper ones. How am I supposed to kill these guys?ДЄlso, what are the negative effects of just leaving the enemy army there? It seems like no traders are showing up at my city nowвЂ¦ and Rome is demanding I build 50 armor for them, and the only way for wool is to import! I canвЂ™t build bridges at all on this map (they arenвЂ™t available). The enemy army appeared on the section of land across the river, so I canвЂ™t go fight them.

I made them, then armed about 20 cohorts. I built up my city, then rome demanded 50 weapons. IвЂ™m on the campaign map вЂњBurdigalaвЂќ, the second or third mission on the military branch.ДЄnyhow, itвЂ™s a map divided in half by a river. If you can arrange things so those services hit 6 villas instead of one, you should get 6x the property tax income.

However, providing all those services to get the villas to develop is expensive. So technically I think you could have a single villa that was very well developed and you would hit the target. Is pleb housing, Dominus (?) also counted towards prosperity? In the last game I had 6 villas and it was hard to get my prosperity rating to 40.ДЇrom the manual, prosperity rating is mostly the average level of development of your villas. As the level of villa development rises, IвЂ™m sure property taxes make up a larger portion of income. I think for any economic scenario you need a good industrial economy to supply those wares and meet RomeвЂ™s demands. Most of my income so far has come from exports, followed by sales tax. Do you think that you can get as good taxed based economy instead of and industrial one? That way you can have a much lower population and still have a good income.
