Investment system?

[Tyfedo]

Short version: I own Vyincourd castle, and run my own kingdom. I noticed that the treasurer is offering me a chance to invest my money on (something)?
Well, I had a great deal of fortunes, and tried investing 500 denars. It didn't quite work out, and I lost 300 denars.

So how does the system work, and have the bugs been fixed? My risk percentage was propably 85 or so, I assume this is a bad thing. The lower the better chances to win eh?

More trade guild you you have, lower the risk, and bigger chance to make profit. So you need to have towns to have them, which might be a bit of a bugger in start.

Aah, that clarified it. Does it matter how many times you invest, I mean, does the risk percentage turn to your favour?

The guild system was broken. Not sure if it is fixed with 4.1. Check the change logs please here in the forum.

edit, quote change log:

The investment system has been updated to be a more mellow one.  You always have risk, but your losses are mitigated by the number of Guilds, and when you experience a gain, its amplified by your Guilds.
