Estate Investment

The contents on this page discuss a possible new feature. It may or may not be ever included in the game, and it may or may not be partially in testing somewhere (usually on the testing branch). In short, consider this page is a sketchpad of sorts and don't rely too much on things written here until this notice disappears. -- Tom

You can invest gold in your estate. This allows knights to create a source of personal income, while binding them even more to their region.

An investment is made simply by adding gold to the estate. Investments will rise over time, at an as-yet-to-be-determined value. Gold can be withdrawn at any time, realizing the profit.

There is, however, also a danger. If the region is looted, the gold in the estates can be looted as well. This should make sure that knights care personally for when their region is in danger.

Region lords should also be able to invest in their estates.
