Faction Income Mod (GC,IA,ED)
For: Grand Campaign & Imperator Augustus & Empire Divided campaigns ONLY
Deactive for all other campaigns, including Caesar in Gaul, Hannibal at the Gates, Wrath of Sparta, and Rise of the Republic campaigns, otherwise the income levels of all factions will not be balanced.
This mod is intended to be used with my Strategic AI & Tech Mod, but it can be used as a stand alone mod as well. This mod is compatible with all non-conversion mods.

This mod simply splits all the economy and income based traits away from my Srategic AI & Tech Mod. This was done because that mod was intended to be used for several campaigns, but the economy based modifications were hurting the add-on expansions.
Specifically the changes are:
ECONOMY RELATED:
-Starting "phantom income" has been adjusted. In the past, both MAJOR and MINOR factions had an income of 3000, which is the single greatest problem causing minor factions to chew up all major factions. Mathmatically, a major faction didn’t have a chance when at war with two or three minor ones. Starting BASE income is now – 2000 for MAJOR, 1000 for MINOR, but more exists depending on the faction (see below).
-All major and some exclusive minor factions have additional subsistence income to better separate them from one another. So, in addition to above, the capitals of Rome, Carthage, all successor kingdoms and Parthia have additional income to better bring them up to their old 3000 income level. The greek states DO NOT have this extra income, meaning that they intentionally get at 1000 less than the powerful main factions. This is done because the greek factions were minor factions at this point, not the equivalent of Rome, Carthage and successor kindoms. In addtion, some select minor factions (such as hellenic type) have more income than other minor factions, depending on how historically prosperous they were.
-African (non-punic type) and arabian factions have reduced tax income because these were desert dwelling nations not capable of fielding multiple massive armies.
-Sparta has reduced tax income to separate them from the rest of the Greek factions (Sparta was not a wealthy nation at the time).
