Dear Protectors of the light,
Today we’re talking about the most interesting of subjects: financing a growing empire! How does one gain a large amount of gold in a short amount of time? With a loan from your local Treasury of course!
Let’s take a look at how you can use bureaucracy to increase your revenue and start raking in that sweet, sweet gold…
Passive Income
As most financial advisors, bankers, and thieves know, the best way to make money is to just take it from others (not legal advice), so if you place the Treasury in a well populated housing district, each of the surrounding houses will give you more income than usual. The Treasury provides a valuable service to your settlement by keeping its citizens gold (mostly) safe, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!
Risky Investments
Another important part of being a financial powerhouse is the giving and repaying of loans. With the Treasury, you are now able to take out loans of all sizes, starting with a small loan of 500 Gold. This must be repaid in full (plus 10% interest of course) within a set time or you risk defaulting, which will reduce the income of houses surrounding the Treasury until you manage to pull together the funds to repay. So make sure you weigh the risks before taking the reward!
IOU
And that ladies and gents, is our final blog for this update! Of course, there’s more to come, like quality of life changes to the mini-map, and a new blessing and malice, but you’ll have to read about those in the patch notes once the update is released tomorrow. See you then!
