    I think 1 Mnai was 100 Drachmae, the Helenistic currency used then. Converting to modern values I think 1 Mnai valued 2500 American Dollars. Hope it helps. :)

    it started as a weight, and i'm having trouble putting the numbers right, but its either 100 drachma = mnai, 60 mnai = talent, or the numbers switch. Either way, its a good bit bigger than a drachma, a good bit smaller than a talent. It gets confusing (for me at least) when you start dealing with non-monetary weights in the drachma-mnai-talent system and their equivalent prices in the monetary drachma-mnai-talent system. Say, iron ore to silver coinage. I get mindboggled.

    EDIT: on a further, and significantly more interesting note, i like how similar it is to "money"...i mean, say mnai 3 times fast "monai monai monai!"

    Does having a large treasury still hurt anything, or has that been removed?

    A good question that I'd also like the answer to... is that changed with the new traits and script? Cuz I've kinda conditioned myself to keep below 50k, which was always kind of silly since it wasn't that much money in-game.
