I tend to spend too much time managing my economy…and also how much army do you usually leave in a newly captured province? I find that it takes a few turns for that province to become obedient.

And i think the bad habits of dragged out battles come from Rome, I used to win with very little or no casulties from spending heaps of time manipulating my line and position each unit.

As for the money I think pillage is your best friend

Are you using arcade mode? cause you dont seem to hesitate charging, and i always thought it dangerous to have your troops run out of steam in the midst of battle.

Also what are the ways of making money (except road, farm, and trade rights)? I dont have the guide so…

Consider that making a video available can take then game play time x3. Because you need to record, you need to edit, you need to compile and you need to publish. So all that take time.

Now the “fun” part is to get feedback, because most people will enjoy you video and will compliment you on it, some people will learn from it, etc.
But, you must also be “strong” because there will alway be people that won’t like what you do, insult, ridicule, say stupid thing. etc. I rarely get those because I’m “good” at the game I play. But I know that some people get a hard time because they are not that good.

But on a more positive side of thing, I think that you actually gain a lot in skill by recording yourself and publish it. Because you will watch yourself after the action and this will allow you to notice what you did wrong. I think I was good before starting recording all those video, but I improved myself a lot since then.

So I think it’s more interesting then fun to publish and show how you play or things like that, because it’s also a lot of work

So I enjoy more the single player even if that’s far too easy because the battle have a strategic goal.
