When playing WRE in Barbarian Invasion, I reach deficit of -$60,000 within a few turns. I am an experienced RTW player and just bought BI so it is new to me - what should be done differently to create income?
After the 'rebellion' and all the towns that I have left are showing -$5,000 to -$20,000 per turn, I have been trying to pillage as many towns as possible, but my armies run out before I ever become profitable again.
I have restarted a few different times to try different things but nothing works. The only thing I haven't done is cull some of my armies - but I don't think that would help. What I really need to know is: how do I get any town to become profitable?
Right now I am going to play as the Franks to get a feel for the game.
If this question is on another board somewhere please point me to it.
