Tax and upkeep
Citizens pay tax into the treasury every hour; every building draws upkeep from it.
- Tax: 1 gold per citizen per hour, scaled by mood from half to one and a half times.
- Upkeep: every building costs gold each hour, more at higher ranks.
- When the treasury cannot pay, workshops stop and homes lose their comfort.
Other income: the ground your city holds pays into your stores (see Territory and outposts), and mines send their output home by caravan (see Caravans).
