Money-o Deductio

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

The numbers shown on the strategic map for settlement incomes really can't be trusted. RTW has some wierd formula that weigh the size of the settlement and makes it responsible for paying a certain size of your army cost. Once saw a city go -11k with only a couple garrison units just because it was a large city and everything else was a town.

Yes, you can't trust the numbers displayed at the cities. In my 0.81 Mak campaign I had Pella mostly at about +8,800 and Athens at about +10,500. I wasn't rich though. I never manage to build up a large treasury because every turn I control my cities and order something to be built. It just doesn't feel right to have nothing built. It's damn hard for me to save money for one or two turns to get the sum for advanced mines together. After all money is only worth so much as what you can buy for it!
