There are more than 20 city in this game. If each city have factory and each factory produce 500 gold/week, a player already have 10.000 weekly income.
Not counting income from fief + trade + ransom + battle loot + pillaging. imho 200 is still ok.
Thats just a stupifying abuse of a financial system not balanced for 20 cities, and I can make 40.000 a week np just trading.
The point is, why SHOULD I need to earn such *insane* amounts of gold just to upgrade my troops? It creates a skewed balance towards the rest of the economy when you're incentivised to create such an artificial income.
