Meadows said:What I usually do is, I check how much the enterprise costs to set up and compare it to the cost it makes per week. After a while you get a good idea of which enterprises are good and which ones aren't, based on that ratio alone. The more expensive the enterprise, the more time it takes to reach break-even (return of investment). This is the price range I'd say is good and worth investing in:

Yes it cost me a small fortune to set up.. and is going to take several months to pay for itself but my games (currently day 280) tend to run for 1000+ days... they will more than pay for themself and be vital parts of my economy in that time. You cannot just look at the ratio... Sure that brewery is going to pay for itself in 12 weeks while my dye works will take 20... difference is by week 50 my dyeworks has made more for me than that brewery has.
With the dye works, you get ~500 every week. It costs 10,000 to build one, but in the long run, it is worth it. You will eventually be making more money. In the earlier parts of the game, I do think building other enterprises can be helpful, but I'd always upgrade them into a dye works when I have the money (except for the mentioned towns where dye works don't give the best income). Rivacheg gives more than double the income with a dyworks compared to other towns, so you should build one there first.King Ragpar said:Currently I am actually finding olive oil to be a higher profit buisness than almost anything else. In shariz I would get 260 denars for 6000 but if I did oil and not the weavery it would be 340 for 4500.

If you have all of the enterprises, you make more than 10,000 denars each week. This allows you to start buying very good armour and training up large armies without worrying about the money.
