Rebuilding units..

[Cedrik]

Hi guys, does somebody know on what depends the amount of florins you pay when you rebuild a unit or upgrade it?
Another question is how can you improve your prince loyalty?
What building improve your trade beside the regular ones(trade market line).

If I remember correctly, retraining cost depends on the quantity of units to replace and the cost of their upgrades.
You can improve your princes in battle but I´m affraid that only as commanders of the army, not subordinates.
Ports, mines and agricultural upgrades help Imo.

Some provinces are poor in general, so they have nothing to trade, Look for natural resources that you can sell. Some also show up during the game, so the provinces can gain some. This happens only due to historicly important dates though, and I can only think of Khazar gaining new luxuries in the late period...

I've looked into the trade income a little. I haven't seen much evidence of trade income over land. All of the trade that I've seen is over seas. You have to have a lot of ships. If you build Ports, Dock Yards, and Trading Posts in provinces which have something to trade (not all coastal provinces have something to trade), then you will need a string of ships from your port to another faction's port. If they aren't an enemy, you will soon be getting trade. The other thing to look out for is enemy ships. If you are near a trading partner's port and an enemy ship is in the same part of the sea, there is a blockade. That will stop all trade income. So you should keep the ocean clear of enemy ships. I had an Egyptian game where I got the florin level up to almost 70000 -- mostly from trade. The problem was that at a certain point in the game, the Christian (i.e., Roman Catholic) factions gradually started Crusades against me, and I ended up with most of the neutral ships becoming enemy ships which caused my trade routines to become useless and my florin level to drop like a stone. That's one of the problems with the Muslim factions as you go through the game. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif

Getting the Great or Magnificent Builder virtues will make your princes more loyal.
