I know I've asked this before, but I don't want to resurrect an ancient thread whcih is less likely to get the attention requir,ed. The thing turning me off from this game is that, 1. I need to acquire iron and other resources to make decent troops.=, which can make it very hard for small factions such as Judea which is too small anyway. and 2. it is a HUGE hassle to get proper trade routs. Is there any mod which removes or significantly alleviates this problem?
