I was wondering if there was a way to make my treasury's tax bonus larger. If there isn't a way to do so ingame,I would really appreciate it if someone told me how to increase it though the mod's files
There is actually some logic behind this, King Wewuz. If you make too much money from the very start the game will simply be too easy and hardly challenging. That is also the reason why other factions have bigger bonuses than yours. If you properly invest in your economy you will surely have enough money and at some point you will not even know what to spend it for.
To answer your question, yes, there is a way to change the base bonus provided by your treasury. You can't do it ingame, so you have to do a bit of modding on your own.
First of all, you have to find out what is the code name for that treasury building. In order to do that you need to navigate to the following folder:
...\Roma Surrectum 2.6\Play_Parthia\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
Then open the file descr.strat.txt
For the Parthians the treasury is located in the city of Nisa, thus this is the city you are looking for in this file.
Code:
settlement
{
level city
region Terrae_Dahae ;;Nisa -483, 183
year_founded 0
population 9600
;meaningless_tax 50
plan_set Pure_Eastern_set

}

{
type hinterland_farms farms+2
}
building
{
type hinterland_wealth medium_wealth
}
building
{
type hinterland_trade_routes silk_road
}
}
These are the lines corresponding with city of Nisa and the treasury building is the one below
Code:
type hinterland_wealth medium_wealth
Next step, close the file and in the following directory \Roma Surrectum 2.6\Play_Parthia\data open export_descr_buildings.txt
Search for the description of a building with the name hinterland_wealth
The complete code for this building should look like this:
Code:

and the line that you need to modify should be this one here:
Code:
taxable_income_bonus bonus 1200 requires factions { parthia, } and hidden_resource area15 and hidden_resource r1
you can change the value of 1200 here to for example 3000, which will obviously increase the income generated by this building by 1800.
While doing it, please, keep in mind that it's been a long time since I last modified anything in this game myself and I've never been as good at it as the other members of this forum. Therefore I can't really guarantee that you are not breaking anything at the same time.
What you should definitely do is to make a back-up copy of the file that you are modifying before you start doing it. Then at least you make sure that you can always turn things round if something goes wrong.
I hope that helps and good luck!
