Booty Calculation

[Sortub]

Does anyone know exactly how the computer computes exactly how much gold you get for conquering a city? Is it that city's total trade arrows?

Thanks

I think the two factors are
1. The enemy's treasury
2. The size of the city

don't know for sure but this might be workable.....

population is 20 ppl.
treasury is 100G.
you capture a size 5ppl city
you receive 1/4 of the treasury
unnoficial at best and as we all know BC has good herbal smoke, take this with a grain of thought

either that or
treasury / number of cities.

No, I don't think it's like that. Because when the AI has only one city left and I take it, I don't get all the of the money in the AI's treasury. Some money is just "lost" I guess.

You don't suppose that some of your soldiers who captured the city actually got a bit of the gold into their own pockets? I thinks this calls for a full kit and bartracks inspection!

My soldiers? Never! They are the creme de la creme of armies. They are the most highly organized, best led, highly evolved, troops on earth!
