Interest income?
One or two points of interest from the new GSpot screenshots.

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...1449-3,00.html

The city advisor screenshot from the GameSpot update shows a "treasury" summary with income on one side and expenditure on the other.

Note that one of the income items is "interest income". Will civs be able to earn interest on cash surpluses? If so, how? The Roman civ they're showing does not seem to be earning any interest on its 95 gold. There's no interest expense item on the other side of the ledger so presumably you can't borrow.

The civ also seems to be set on 75%/0%/25% settings for science/luxuries/tax [based on income of 36-8 corruption=28 net income, divided into 21 science/0 luxuries/7 gold]. This is different from the 10% gradients we're used to in CIII.

There's already a disscussion going on about this here.

I have no idea if this is the case but it would seem to me that no one should get interest on cash unless the civ has developed the Banking tech. Or maybe the capital city needs to have a bank?!? I don't know if this is the case but it would make some sense.

As for the second point, it makes more sense to actually use the correct percentages rather than a 10% increment. So I guess this is something that they got right!
