different financial reports

[Sitalkes]

At the start of the turn, you get a finanical report (on the left of your screen), which you can look at, then it goes away and you can look at the other financial report in the bottom right corner of your screen. The two are always different and I can never tell which is more reliable when it comes to working out how much money I will have next turn. Why are they always different and which do you use? by the way, happy christmas to all at TWC!

I've never really paid much attention to the one that pops up at the beginning of the turn. The one in the bottom right corner is probably superior since it is updated throughout your turn with new information like unit recruitment and construction.

The one that drops down the left of the screen shows the final report for the turn which has just ended, the one in the bottom right is for the current turn and will change as you alter tax rates, build and recruit- it does not take into account additional upkeep costs for units recruited, just the actual recruitment cost- it can also be affected by events during the end turn such as sieges, blockades, death of family members etc., so is only an interim account.

also it counts the construction cost as part of it i.e it doesnt take into account the fact that they are payed up front same with recruitment. So just minus construction and recruitment costs
