Pella' income has gone down a bit because I've recruited most of another full stack, but here's the current breakdown:Originally Posted by pezhetairoi

Mines (Complex): 4,950
Trade: 1,416

I actually have all of my cities on Normal or Low taxation in order to facilitate population growth. I haven't had high taxes on anything for something like thirty years.
I'm not building a vast Grand Army of the Monarchy because I'm a minimalist. Even though I have essentially unlimited resources, I still build the smallest amount of armies/soldiers I can that will get the job done. Although, just for kicks, I considered training up something like 25 full stacks, moving them around so that each of them is next to one of the cities I need for victory, and then hitting every city on the same turn. It won't happen, but it was an amusing thought.
I have The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary ("With 861 Newly Discovered Words and Definitions Added to the Previous Thousand-Word Collection") It's published in 1967, first edition. The extra words are apparently gleaned from weekly columns Bierce wrote for San Francisco periodicals. The work is edited by Ernest Jerome Hopkins, with a preface by John Myers Myers (yes, two Myers in his name). I found it in my campus library. Great stuff.
Cheers.
