I'm not entirely sure about this one but I just knocked up a game with Pontus, VH/VH (I've won before with them on this level several times). I'd conqoured all of Asia Minor fairly quickly and my Economy was a joke. I wasn't breaking even until I distanded almost all my army, had peasents garrisoned in every town (one or two units) and a two very small, very weak armies of tier 1 and 2 units. Yet even then I was clearing some 6-8 hundred per turn. It was litterally unplayable, so I quit.
