Governing for Dummies I- Your Estate

The Emperor would set the starting
limit for each governor.

Also this system may be implemented by other factions too!

The numbers should be as follows
governors from Italia, Byzantium, Syria and Aegyptus will be the wealthiest starting with a Lavish Estate of 500 slaves which will give the player 5000 denarii.

Governors of Moesia, Pannonia, Lugdunesis, Aquitania, Terraconensis, and Dalmatia will start with a Modest Estate which will be 250 slaves and 2500 denarii.

All other starting Governors will be granted a small estate which contains 100 Slaves and 1000 denarii.
Here is how the estate will work there are 4 levels,

Grand Estate - 1000 Slaves - 10000 denarii
*32000 Gold



Lavish Estate - 500 Slaves - 5000 denarii
*16000 Gold


Modest Estate - 250 Slaves - 2500 denarii
*8000 Gold



Small Estate - 125 Slaves - 1250 denarii
*4000 Gold



There are two ways to upgrade one is to have the Emperor commission a bigger Estate for you which he may do so at his leisure or having bought slaves and upgraded the buildings of your Estate to the necessary level. They are,
The main house,
Lvl 1 - Cost - Free - Provides basic needs for the governor no extra income.

A house must have one of every level before advancing to the next level of the estate.


The Estate pays every 1 game year or every 4 real days.


Estates contribute to your provincial treasury or towards making your estate bigger in order to construct more in a province or construct more of your home...


So basically say you want to get a modest estate and are a lvl1 in all, you must pay to get your estates farms, furnishing, servants all to lvl2, then you must pay the commission (estate price) to upgrade... also you must receive permission from the Emperor or Rome.

use it to help fund your government and province of course!

If you have a Lavish Estate do you start out with every thing at level 3 on all the ecom things

regarding to estates yes, but regarding to city buildings no.

How long is this game going to last? It seems like we won't get a lot of resources.

Game will last as long as activity lasts. You will if you think about it. 2000 x 4 = 8000 resources in just 2 years, remember you get the resources twice per year.

So if we aren't Roman do we get one?

What do I, as a general get. btw my governor isn't there or what?

If you aren't Roman, you're barb strong holds are usually lowly populated so you can choose.

Also you should recruit governors. Generals will fight in battles and crap so yeah.

I couldn't be governor of Germania because someone else was already, but he isn't here.
I can be interim governor but I don't want to be governor way to much work and Freddy go do pop on Dark Ages WR

being governor isn't exactly a lot of work. Most of these blocks of texts are buildings that you can buy, their benefits and costs. Thats it. The real hard core work is as to what you start with financially.
