Lets keep the economists out of this!

[Trithemius]

bugger the economic ai. I want to control every little aspect of my kingdom to pet my micromanaging fetish.

YES!

While I understand the desire to keep things streamlined, and AI-moderated, I REALLY like having an option to "take the hood off" and look at how things are working (and tinker with them...).

Megalomaniacs unite!

I prefer not to bother too much with the financial bs. I wouldn't mind trusting the AI to do it if it didn't suck. I hated how everytime I left a city up to the AI they started churning out a bunch of temples like the end times were near.

Sorry, Dragoncrusader, I don't agree. I like to take care of the economy of my country. The real sovereign should rule not only his army but also his lands. By the way Richard I (the Lionheart) has a lot of problems because of his reluctance to rule the economy of his kingdom. The French king Philip II August didn't miss his chance...war... and that led to the death of Richard .And not all governors were as good as Richard's.
