    What I meant is that I do not want to point to someone, especially if this person does not really want to be a Chancellor (or cannot, for reasons similar to mine). Therefore, someone needs to step up and help us all go on with the game. If noone does it, this will be it, I am afraid.

    If no one comes forward in the next, say, week, then I will abandon my consulship, Innocentius, for example, could be the next consul, and I will be chancellor.

    Should be checking this thread more often...

    Anyway, I'll be Chancellor for the remainder of Gregorio II's reign. But I think I'll need a thorough instruction on how to calculate the income/expenses... I've never been a fan of Excel...

    I think it's actually written in the game. Just look at the "economy" tab or whatever it is.

    I have found excel easier, as I can extend a preset formula. The way I calculate each house of nobles' treasury is quite simple - you have a certain amount in the coffers from last year, to which you add the income from the province(s) the house controls, and you subtract the expenses, which may include troops outside of the province and ships for Genoa. On the difference between income and expenses, as long as it is positive (and it better be), I calculate 10% tax, which I also subtract (for Genoa I add the taxes from the other three houses). Finally, I subtract any buildings started or troops trained. The final result is the coffers for the house of nobles at the end of the year, which is then carried over to next year (and which cannot be negative). You can do thiis with a sheet of paper and a calculator, but for me excel is easier.
    Here is what I can do - I can extend the formulas down for the next 100 years, and all you will need to do in the spreadsheet is to enter the income, investments (troops and buildings), and expenses in the appropriate boxes.

    Unfortunately, I cannot foresee what other provinces we may gain, and each new province conquered will obviously change the income and expenses for at least one house of nobles, which will also affect taxes Genoa collects.

    I just wanted to check in. The abbey here in Sardinia is nice. Work should slow down by the weekend, and I'll be able to participate more. It looks like I haven't missed much, though. My condolences on your laptop, Kavhan.

    I was wondering on what to say, but I'll just check in as well. Life's hectic as usual, but I try to view the forums every day.
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
