    Interest income?

    One or two points of interest from the new GSpot screenshots.

    404: Not Found - GameSpot

    GameSpot is the world's largest source for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, Wii PC, 3DS, PSP, DS, video game news, reviews, previews, trailers, walkthroughs, and more.


    The city advisor screenshot from the GameSpot update shows a "treasury" summary with income on one side and expenditure on the other.

    Note that one of the income items is "interest income". Will civs be able to earn interest on cash surpluses? If so, how? The Roman civ they're showing does not seem to be earning any interest on its 95 gold. There's no interest expense item on the other side of the ledger so presumably you can't borrow.

    The civ also seems to be set on 75%/0%/25% settings for science/luxuries/tax [based on income of 36-8 corruption=28 net income, divided into 21 science/0 luxuries/7 gold]. This is different from the 10% gradients we're used to in CIII.

    There's already a disscussion going on about this here.
    However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

      I have no idea if this is the case but it would seem to me that no one should get interest on cash unless the civ has developed the Banking tech. Or maybe the capital city needs to have a bank?!? I don't know if this is the case but it would make some sense.

      As for the second point, it makes more sense to actually use the correct percentages rather than a 10% increment. So I guess this is something that they got right!
