-Geld is created by the [[population]] in your kingdom.

+Geld is created by the [[population]] in your kingdom. How much geld you generate each [[turns|turn]], depends primarily on the population you have, and what buildings you have put on your land (with emphasis on [[Towns]](But the net income can be changed by [[God Favour]], [[Unique]] or [[Heroes]].)). There is no cap to the maximum amount of geld you can accumulate, but you can't have less than zero geld (no loans!), at which point you start losing stacks, heroes and eventually buildings.

 * Optimizing gelding envolves a gentle balance between % of towns on your land, allowing population growth to be maximal all the time, by providing excess space for population all the time. There is a nice tool [[Geld_Optimizer_Applet|that can help you]] optimize your gelding.
