I took over a settlement with a mine in it, The building description says that it generates 2000 gold in income, but for some reason the end of the year report says my mining income was only 600. Is there something else going on?

Re: Mine income
Yes: The building description is inaccurate. Disregard everything it says regarding the benefits of mining and only focus on the Settlement Details section for that particular settlement. Most mining settlements will only produce 600 mnai with a standard mine, and 1500 for a mining complex (which is nothing to sneeze at). However, there are a few (particularly, I've found, in several Balkans settlements such as Dalminion) that produce much, much more. Playing as Makedonia, I believe my mining complex at Pella is producing (after governor bonuses) something on the order of 4,900 mnai per turn. However, for most, you're going to be looking at 600/1500.Originally Posted by Diamondj

Re: Mine income
wowzers!
I am at a stage in my campaign where I am building mines all over my empire. It would be nice to know where the good stuff is buried! It is somewhat of a let down that the 2000 per turn is innaccurate, just because I was figuring some math and trying to work out cost:profit before construction.
This is news to me
Re: Mine income
Like I said, if you queue up the mine, you can see in the Settlement Details how much it will be making. It is usually going to be 600/1500. However, for a few settlements (I know that Dalminion, Pella, and possibly Serdike {I'm not at my desktop so I can't check} are among them, and I think that Nikaia and one other Balkans province are as well), the base income is mouch higher--something on the order of 1800/4500, I think. Which is insane. And wonderful.
Cheers.

Re: Mine income
In Iberia you can find better mines too, think it is in Gader, Sucum-Murgi... Karali and Reghion, If I am no mistaken, also have a little more income per mine, perhaps it is related with the large metal veins in there...

Re: Mine income
This is the amount of most mines in Asia Minor.
The exception of A.M. as it gives 1200/3000.
True, that makes Pella and Dalminion Number One Targets to acquire.
Once you have the money, build mines.

Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
