[G&K] Economy in Fall of Rome (Deity) as Eastern Rome

[Sacrispada]

I have been reading the old threads and it is full of useful information indeed. I am trying to get Pax Romana Aeternum.

I have managed to play it quite well up to Turn 14, only lost Edessa, Trebiozond, Theodosopolis and Naissus.
But now I'm doing a new game where I want to lose even fewer cities and it seems that I am keeping Trebiozond and Edessa.

The question which is killing me is: is it really unfeasible to win this scenario by trying to save the economy? I get that the policies will have to hit like a truck sooner or later, but there is no way to keep a positive income and still win the game (and get the achievement)? Did anybody try that?

I'd never heard of it before today, but I went looking and there is a guide here, in case you haven't seen it:

It's old, but it might still be vaguely relevant.

Hey, thanks. I know this guide, but the author does sacrifice the economy. He goes negative gold and keeps producing Scouts for disbanding. Pretty clever, but not quite what I asked!

I'm afraid that very few people frequent these forums nowadays. Moreover, I've rarely seen anyone mention either achievements or scenarios here, so sadly I doubt you will get much advice. I've never played a scenario, and because I used mods, achievements have been disabled for me for about as long as I have been playing the game, so I never took any notice of them. Best of luck with it, but I fear you are not likely to get much response here.
