My Economic Recession

[Mooks]

Thanks everyone for the information, it will be put to good use, and I pray the Flying Spaghetti Monster chooses to spare my pathetic insignificant existance, however, I do have a pirate outfit, so hopefully I am in his fair graces........ oh, is there any specific way to increase the management efficiancy of certain governers like keeping them in a city with good schools or something...?

Yes, it helps massively in the long run to build a major school in Rome to train governors up till theyre 23 or something. Gives them pretty good retinues. In my Carthrage game right now (VH/H) every governor I have has a massive retinues that increase tax/trade massively.

I even believe in this so much I build schools in all of my main provinces. They pay for themselves.
