In Rome: Total War, Barbarian Invasion, the Western Roman Empire is in absolute deep shit. You only have a few denari (5000 or worse only a 1000), nearly all your cities are about to rebel, you have a small army, huge borders, at war with a shit load of nations, religiously divided, etc.
So I decided to pretty much allow as many Christian cities to rebel, by taking out my garrison and then proceed to exterminate the population of the place and sieze the property of the former inhabitants.
I would also be liquidating as many assets as I could and destroying buildings everywhere for an injection of cash.
I would also put all my Christian leaders, even my faction leader, into a boat, and purposefully get it to sink so I purge my royal family of any Christians.
Then I proceed to conquer the world.
