Gift from the Council

[Gavani]

Simple question - What triggers you getting the 1000 florin gift from the council?

[tudor93]

uhm ... completing the mission ?

no, sometimes you get money from the council for nothing, no mission attached.

[snipe of the gutter]

probably if you start really well and take towns that are not on their hit list, seems a bit random TBH

Does seem a bit random but is always when you expand quickly in my experience. Wait what am i saying i always do that! Ahh what do i know?!?

Thank you eXistenZ not quite that daft yet tudor93

Has anyone got this random reward more than once or is it a one off? I can't remember getting the gift more than once in any campaign

Ooo I get it now, I thing it is the same thing like in RTW, in RTW if you listen to the Senate (although they are more like the Pope for M2TW) and complete almost all the missions they give you they will give you gifts. So complete as many missions as you can given by the Council of Nobles and they will be pleased and will give you money

Actually that makes really good sense. AS the game goes on i complete less and less of the council missions. Hmmm might have to try to do more missions to see if i get it again!

i mostly get it when i complete every1 mission they give me,and quickly.

It occurs randomly when you increase your faction's reputation rating, or maintain a high reputation.

Ironically, if you're expanding a lot, your faction's reputation is usually low, and you won't get these gifts. But if your faction is really weak (and thus more likely to have a high reputation), you get this reward for your "leadership."

Lol dunno how you got that dude im playing as scotland ive got 8 field armies all advancing and im gaining atleast 1 gift every single turn at this point and taking 2-3 settlements and normally destroying 4-5 armies a turn.

Seems to be in my game the more powerfull i make scotland the more gifts they give me.

[Tidybeard]

Trouble is, sometimes they make requests that cost more money than the reward is worth.

yeah the ones where you have to buy a settlement, for a 1000 florins reward. so stupid... And its like 10 or 15 turns without another, usefull mission

In the denmark campaign where I turtled at 3 provinces and no enemies, I got huge numbers of these. In the 50th turn I got 5000 as a gift for doing absolutely nothing(except lots of building).
I think Aeratus may be correct in saying it's linked to reputation(size and frequency). Maybe also to number of wars, and faction size.

Those missions where you get told to buy a settlement are worthwhile, but only if you have the cash lying around. Buying a settlement, instead of raising an army and then retraining it, can actually be significantly cheaper

What does a settlement go for then? I have never bought one! or does this only happen in the mods?

[crzyrndm]

10000 for a castle/city in the early game normally for a city or castle. By late game, I've payed 150000 for a settlement like Venice or any of the other huge earners.
It sounds like a lot, but then a city averages ~1-2k income/turn even early(or can be boosted to that easily by building roads etc.), and because of the garrison slots in a city that can be pure profit.

Does it have to be one payment or can I spread it into interest free installments by paying per turn? Do you make the deal balanced or generous?

I assume the computer is less likely to accept that as you could in theory declare war and not pay.

Also i i assume the "gift from the pope" of 1000 florins is similar to gift from the council - i.e - doing lots of pope missions.

i got it right on the begginig of the campaing, 2500 florins, if u did all of their missions u will probably get those rewards

[Emperor of The Great Unknown]

In a play test campaign as the Aztecs where did absolutely nothing except watch the world go by, I got it like every 20 turns. BTW almost all the time if you leave up to the AI it's always between the Pope and the Timurids in the end.
