Treasury - how bad is it to be rich?

[Quietus]

Normally this wouldn't be problem but having read that it's imperative to keep your treasury below 50,000 I was wondering how bad it is not to?

Oh no, pay no heed to the penalties. Just keep building and improving your economy. If you amend your Governors with good retinues, the penalties can be easily offset! Do not keep your treasury below 50,000! Who cares about the penalties if you are making 150,000 denari net (note, not gross, but after deduction of the costs)!

Just pay attention the really bad governors (the ones that actually can't offset the penalties). Use those bad governors as generals and use all available family members (except the heir) as governors.

Currently I'm giving away 5,000-10,000 denari every turn/every other turn while building units and expanding my cities and it's a bit tedious, so how bad is it to be filthy rich?

Yeah, just like MTW, CA made it so easy to build the economy. The buildings are way cheap as well, and quick to build (just like MTW).

Will all my governors turn into raving lunatics or what exactly?

Of course not!

Welcome to the ORG btw!
