    Default not getting full profit from mines

    Playing my Karthadistim campaign, around 260 my economy started stagnating, and I was only making about a thousand mnai per turn. So I decided to save up to build a level one mine in Mastia. I was informed that I would be getting 2000 mnai per turn from this mine. However, once it was built I saw that I was only getting 660 mnai per turn. All that saving for nothing.
    Is this something I did wrong? Is it a bug? Or does the level one mine in Mastia only produce 660 mnai per turn, instead of the promised 2000?

    This is bugged. If you want to check out how much a mine will make, just start building it, check the Settlement Details scroll, it will show how much it'll just make.

    No, the ingame descriptions are inaccurate. The income is dependent on resources. So some mines bring in only 600 / turn, while others can bring in up to 1800 / turn. When deciding on building a mine, simply take a look at the settlement details screen. Once you select a mine, it will show (in a greyish colour) what contributions the buildings in the building queue will make.

    Isn't it true that different mines give different incomes? And also the mines add up so a province with 5 mine resources are going to make more money from mines than one with 2?

    And could it be that on VH campaign difficulty you get an income penalty on mines as well? I seem to remember you do for trade and taxes.

    You don't get income penalties for mines on higher campaign difficulties.

    Some provinces have more mine resources so you get more income. Pella, for example, has three mine resources in the province that it controls. So you'll get 1800 income total, governor traits notwithstanding. Build the mines quickly there! I suggest building mines even if it's just one resource. They're great.

    okay thanks for the replies. As long as we're on the subject, where is the best place to build mines in Iberia?

    I thought every single family member + general gets very bad economy + governing traits once you go over 50k sitting in the treasury?

    Yeah Pella is a right treat, presently getting 7,600 per turn, just from the level 2 mine there. And if you move the right governer there, some can give you 30-40% discounts on the 35,000 building cost. He's my travelling advanced builder, stays awhile, oversees the expensive stuff, then his expertise is required elsewhere.
