each nation starts out with 20,000

you get 1000 for each provence (you get the money every 3 days)

2000 for each capital.

Trade is 1/4 of how much you make from provences. so if you make 4000 from your provences you make 1000 from trade and etc

you can sack a provence and get quick money. 5000 for each provence and 10 000 for each capital sacked. but you cant take taxes from those provences for 1 Rl week.

Each army costs 3000 and each nation starts out with 1 army free. Same with navys if you own a coastal city

Also to take a provence you must siege its local capital.
