Ok... A couple of questions about the income in the game, i haven't seen them anythere else - but if they've already been answered let me know there to find the answers.

Just started a new game as Genoa (i've played several times - great game). I get 15D each year. My manual tells me that the annual income is based on my provinces taxvalue (which is 10 + 5, so far so good), but also on customs and traderevenues ('Handelsavgifter' in swedish). The later is the income of having a COT, and each foreign merchant should be paying me 5D each year. When i look at my province it says that i should earn 50D (having 10 foreign merchants in my COT). But i don't. Why?
My question is: How does the annual income work? I do have the manual, but would welcome an example, or how i could calculate it.

I might as well ask about the monthly income as well. I can't say i know where the figures in the 'income calculation' screen comes from. It's not as simple as adding all tax incomes and split in 12 parts.
 
Thanks E !

It might well be as you say... But still, the manual (page 60 and 61 (swedish manual)), and the text in game (when pointing on a province income), leads me to think otherwise. The manual says that in the beginning of each year - the annual income - you get tax ('Mantalspenning'), customs, and trade fees ('Handelsavgifter') - based on a 5D fee for every foreign merchant in your COT.
Every month you get tax, production income, and trade income ('Handelsintäkter') - the last part based on your own trade, your own merchants.

Still, it might be that you are right, but in that case i think there should be a change in the manual. And i would still welcome if someone could tell me how the annual and monthly income is calculated.

Sorry if i'm repeating myself.
 
No the manual is correct in that, but you also have to apply the 'economic efficiency rating'. That is your Infrastructural technology level divided by ten on all non-tradal incomes. Your 'trade efficiency rating' ie Trade tech level is applied on your trade incomes.

That is this is a VERY complex game... :)

Are these 'efficiency ratings' the same as the %-values within ( ) in the montly income listings or are they completely separate. If they are not the same, wouldn't it be nice if these values would be presented somewhere in the game ?

BTW, since I'm already typing, there's a bug in the swedish text for COT income. According to the text I should get 850gold per _month_ in trade income from one of my COT, it should be per _year_ shouldn't it =) ?

Also, you know that many of the stat-book's table columns are completly messed up, rendering a lot of the information unreadable (in the Sv version at least).
