Money made from trading

**uanime5** · July 30, 2009, 06:37 AM

Jovanicus has raised the issues of trade and mines with me and I was wonder what everyone's opinion was about these areas.

There are currently 3 choices:

1) Increase the amount of money trade produces
2) Decrease the amount of money trade produces
3) Keep it the same

I say increase trade. In the Medieval era, many nations depended on trade to live (such as Kiev)

Decrease! By turn 3-4 my Ottomans had 200K even when i spent everything on mercvenrary and expensive stuff!

Maybe decrease the income from farming and raise unit upkeep and/or cost.

I have made a version of the descr_settlement_mechanics.xml that reduces the amount of money made from trade. To install it download the attached 'descr_settlement_mechanics.rar' file, unpack it, and put the 'descr_settlement_mechanics.xml' file in the 'mods\conquest\data' folder (default location 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\data').

Please let me know how it affects your game.
