Max amount of cash a city can generate

[Pivra]

I played HRE and Vienna made like 8000 something once
Playing BE Antioch and Alexandria generated like 9000s several times (u can check in my thread about the vassels)

Ur experience?

[vonKrysiak]

14k in Constantinople but that was with huge trade empire and trade agrements with everyone. also not a single rebel army pillaging the province.

[burningsoul]

i had 8000 from Antioch once....
idea: if you are playing a mod, write its name...

My GOD MY CONSTANTINOPLE IS MAKING 15K RIGHT NOW.. ill take a pic soon and post it

[Lost Crusader]

I don't think I ever got much more than 8000. I guess it's because at some stage of the game I stop developing my economy since I swim in cash anyway.

[Evolution]

I have never made more than 3000.... I guess I'll go sit in the corner .

[Renco]

I'm usually confined to about 5000 max in a city, probably because 3:1 of my empire consists of Vassals. So as England i'm still confined to the brittish Isles whilst my regions controlled expands towards the 45 goal. I don't get the real moneymakers. My slaves do

[Bluice]

15K from Constantinople, is that mainly from trade or taxes?

Out of these cities with high income what is the breakdown please?

[FuriousSpurius]

I think the most I've ever made is around 6000, but I usually get bored at that point and start a new game with a new faction. Constantinople is a great money maker, but you can make mad cash from pretty much any country with a coastline I've found. At one point I was raking in about 4500 a turn from Arhus, and I only controlled Denmark, Sweden and Norway (because I didn't feel like expanding), just had a lot of trade with other nations.

[Bluice]

Timbuktu has 3 great resources which pump in heaps of cash from merchants, 2 gold and 1 ivory

[Pivra]

get ready to meet the Queen of Cities.....ok .. here we go..


I have fullstack because I am paranoid. Venice sacked Constantinople once and the Turks did it again... and both exterminated the city...

[HolyCrusade]

Wow... and how do you only have 65,000? O_O

[Pivra]

Big military burden.....I am doing a Reconquista Italiana right now and also Crusaders are passing through my City very very often so I have to stack up so I wont get plundered and sacked for the third time...my population is at 50000s ish right now.. and if you have played Byz before.... they have lots of bills to pay...

[HolyCrusade]

I've played the Byz once before, I did not like their location.

Seeing as Milan only has two regions left in the most random of places, why don't you try to take them?

EDIT: Try giving the region in Africa to Egypt, and get them to eliminate Venice, and then keep the territory in Europe to strengthen your hold there.

[kelvintyk]

Oh my god! 18k? I hardly pass 5k....

[Ältester der Motten]

I've played the Byz once before, I did not like their location.

It's my favourite location of all the playable nations, except sicily.

And so far my biggest profit came from Thessalonica with about 13,000 florins, playing with Deus lo Vult 4.0.

[lord_IRNBRU]

nice

[vonKrysiak]

Yeah I would say that not too many cities in vanilla can reach such level, maybe Constantinople and Venice would be two of them but that is about it. Although once in Deus Lo Vult I managed to get Cracow to bring me 12k per turn (9k out of trade) - although it kind of spoiled the campaign and I jsut restarted it ;-)

[Pivra]

Yes Constantinople making 18k kinda ruins the game.. lol...I wish Paris in the 1400s late game could make 18k too

[kelvintyk]

How do you guys make so much money in a city? Tips please? I'm kinda having a hard time keeping up with my army upkeep because of my low income from settlements.
