Help with finances

@Torrnight: I love your mod, apart from the financial system. What with Communal Farming (for example) costing 5500 and all other buildings costs massively inflated over vanilla, I find it very hard to make any decent money at all. I can't just copy over a descr_buildings from another mod, as this would mess up the recruitable generals. Could you give me some tips on how to make money?

Actually it would break/change so much it wouldn't be worth it. Just adjust the costs manually if you must change it.

The first time I played this mod I went bankrupt.... the second time I used the add_money cheat to bring my starting funds up by about 10000. Now I know to be patient and concentrate on my economy for the first ten years.

What I did was adjust the cost of the first roads and land clearance cut the price In half I believe this helped out a lot I think and got the citys going to positive population growth sooner. I would try that before you go making all of the other buildings cheaper. I think that the larger castles should cost more but maybe the time for those to outlast sieges should then also grow to take that into account and make it worth it.

Hmmm ... I adjust the building time of roads and land clearance but retain the costs.

That said, it normally takes me anywhere from 5-20 turns to prepare for a big fight. Normally my factions "swallow" an independent province at a rate of 1 every 12-15 turns.

I love the financial system now, saving up and spending wisely. Pity it doesn't always work that well in real life for me.

The Long Road with everything at the same cost - doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
