Stay tuned RKE Coming to a workshop near you. My mod gives streamlined economics, which enables players to play in any style or format they wish. The upkeep, gold or food for buildings or units, is proportionate to your trade and taxes and building level and also depends on the size of your kingdom. Right now the pre-alpha I am testing produces 1.9 million in proffit every turn with all of England, Wales, Scotland conquered. 13,000 food w/around 12 units fully stacked.

Technologies have been altered to raise upkeep the better your military gets in proportional growth. This really needs to be ported to ROME: II. Though starting off in easy is like playing legendary.

i think you can still change the food requirements via the campaign_difficulty_effect_table.
