    The more people you have, the more money the settlement gets, since there are more tax-payers.

    The thing is, then when a city becomes larger, that city must pay more for your army. So if you have a city with 30.000 men, you'll get a lot of money, but on the campaing map it will look like the city is actually losing money, because so much of that income goes to pay for your army. Smaller cities pay much less for the army, that's why it looks like they give you a better income.

    No. I look not at campaign map but at a city panel. And, excluding the bonuses I never saw that settlement tax income grew larger than 1500 mnai

    A more experienced modder can correct me on this, but I am not aware of a moddable cap on city income. It must be a hardcoded thing.

    Allthoug it is hardcoded there is an easy way around it. Just add tax income boni to buildings that are tied to the city size.

    But the tax income bonus is not very high and if you give bonuses over 5% it becomes buggy.

    Apologies to differ slightly from the OP.

    Atm I have about 80-90ish settlements in the year 135 in my Romani campaign with cities such as Segestica, Dalminion, Gader, Sucum-Murgi and Pella all pumping out roughly 13k per turn. I have a ton of upkeep costs lost in military so potentially if I disbanded a few of my full stacks, would I see the (visible) income of these cities rise further? Or would it increase the income of other cities that are not making as much? ie. Athenai 2500ish/Roma 4500ish/Syrakousai 4000ish.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Upkeep for units and wages for family members and agents are divided by population size, so yes, the bigger cities pay disproportionally more. This is because city population grows exponentially with each upgrade, while city income grows accumulatively.
