They are cheap, have a lot of men and cost only 100 denarii upkeep. The most ideal unit for garrison is Peasants. If you left-click on any unit, you will see their stats, if you look at the bottom of this list, you will see: "Upkeep" and there you see how much upkeep the unit require. So, if you want to decrease your army upkeep, try smaller garrisons and concentrate your main forces on conquering new lands and defending the borders of the empire. Since the huge garrisons are gone, the army upkeep is now much smaller. The player has placed small garrisons in Arretium and Ariminum, and is concentrating the big armies on the borders of the empire. If the player doesn't get rid of some of the troops, or get some new cities, the money will go even more into minus because the upkeep is too big for just 6 cities. If the player disbands or fight with some of the garrison, the army upkeep will go down. Segesta have only 556 citizens, and pay very little army upkeep. Patavium has 17075 citizens and is the biggest city with most citizens. So many forces creates a huge army upkeep. The player has too many forces, and too few cities to handle the army upkeep. The other cities probably don't need that much garrison either, the armies should be out conquering new lands, not stay idle in a city.Īs you also can see, the money issue isn't going too well.

Arretium and Ariminum have full stack garrisons! Both Arretium and Ariminum are surrounded by the players own regions (and the other Roman regions, but the player doesn't have to worry about civil war yet), therefore the player don't need much other garrison than one or two units. Here we can see that the player has a lot more garrison than he or she needs. You don't need much garrison in cities that are surrounded by your own regions. To reduce the army upkeep, simply reduce the amount of soldiers! You still need forces to defend and expand your territory.

You exterminate and the population drops to 6000 citizens. If you exterminate a large city, that pay a lot army upkeep, the income will simply decrease a bit in all other settlements, the amount they will decrease is identical as the one you loose in the big city you exterminated.Įxample: Patavium is your biggest city, in Patavium there are 18 000 citizens. Sure, you get some thousand denarii that turn, but the army upkeep will just be divided to other cities. Then why not exterminate, so that there will be fewer citizens?Įxterminating won't help you in the long run. Thats why your bigger cities are loosing money, those cities have so many citizens that they pay a large part of the army upkeep. The upkeep expenditure will be divided to all your settlements, and the one with most citizens will pay most money. The army upkeep in that army will not be paid by Arretium just because the army's location is at Arretium. For example: You have a huge army in Arretium, that army needs money to maintain itself. The army upkeep is divided on all your cities. Food for your soldiers and keeping weapons and armour in good condition are two things that is part of the army upkeep.
