Earning Gold
As a sovereign in Ardania, you must pay in gold for everything you do or order done. You
begin each quest with some gold in your treasury, but you will need much more in order to
achieve your goals. There are several ways you can replenish your treasury, some better
than others.

Tax Collection
Most of the buildings in your realm generate some amount of gold, however small. Getting that
gold from the various structures into your treasury is the job of the Tax Collector. This rotund
fellow is the workhorse of your economic system. A Tax Collector starts his rounds from
either the Palace or a Guard House, and he visits every building on the Tax Route. Once he’s
gone to each building, he returns with your gold.
Note that if a Tax Collector is killed while making his rounds, he drops whatever gold he’s
carrying. If a hero is nearby to pick up the spilled treasure, all is not lost. However, if no
heroes are near when a Tax Collector is killed, the gold vanishes!
Wandering around to every building is not always the most efficient means of collecting taxes.
Especially in a large, spread out kingdom, you might want to streamline the process.

There are a number of ways you can do this:
Minimum Return is a threshold you set in a Tax Collector’s Control window. This dictates the
minimum amount of gold that a Tax Collector must be carrying before he considers dropping
it off at your Palace or a Guard House. He will ignore this and drop off anyway only if there is
no more gold left anywhere to collect. You can adjust the value in this field by manipulating
the plus and minus buttons next to it.
Minimum Pickup is another threshold, set and adjusted in the same way. This dictates the
minimum amount of gold that must be in the coffers of a building on the Tax Route before the
Tax Collector will consider visiting that building to collect it. This can save a lot of time that
would otherwise be wasted on tiny sums.
