Geld is created by the population in your kingdom. How much geld you generate each turn, depends on the population you have, and what building you have put on your land (with emphasis on Towns). There is no cap to the maximum amount of geld you can accumulate, you can't have less than zero geld (no loans!).

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

Basics

Icongeld.gif Geld, also known as gold or money Icongeld2.gif

Geld is created by the population in your kingdom. How much geld you generate each 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.

  • Geld is consumed by many army units and heroes, by buildings, and by going to war (war expense). Your status report breaks down the total upkeep.
  • There are also game features that alter your geld generation. When items, heroes or enchantments reduce your geld generation, that is called 'Hidden upkeep'.
  • Geld is a pillageable resource.

The formula for base geld-income is:

  • Current Pop * (((100 + 10*Town) / Land) ^ 0.5) + 1000
  • The above seems to have been changed to: Current Pop * (((100 + 10*Town) / Land) ^ 0.0000005) + 1000 (Blitz, Feb 2009)
  • The current formula for geld-income seems to simply be Current Pop + 1000
    • When gelding, you gain the net amount with no upkeep for each turn taken, and as you do this, you take turns giving you the usual income of your kingdom (Gelding in negative income means you lose that amount of geld each turn taken on top of the gain from the gelding).
    • When suffering hidden upkeeps, lower the amount by a certain factor (-10% means factor 0.9)
    • It uses the population you have at the end of the turn (confirmed by marty)
    • with absolutely no pop, you will still get a tiny 1000 geld, and the next turn you will have the base 50 pop and get already more than 1000 geld.
