Constructing new buildings is usually the biggest expense, especially in periods of growth for a city. It is very easy to simply build whatever you wish to build without considering its cost. Remember that some buildings cost significantly more to build than others. Wages are usually the next largest expense. Other costs include interest on any debt owed to Rome, your own salary, the cost of any goods… text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/forum?rev=1716980526&do=diff b) Forum FORUM Forum T he forum is a satellite office of the government, usually found in outlying neighborhoods. Its particular task is to send out tax collectors, raising revenues from areas too far from the Senate's own collection routes. There is no limit on the number of forums your city may build. Because forums make desirable neighbors, many governors include a new one whenever they expand the city's residential areas. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/governorsresidence?rev=1716980526&do=diff i) Governor's Residence GOVERNOR'S RESIDENCE Governor's House I t is fitting that the governor of a great city should live in an appropriate style. You are free to spend your own savings on a home, and there are several to choose from, depending on how much money you want to spend and how much space you want to take up. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/money?rev=1716980526&do=diff d) Money MONEY M oney is strange stuff. With absolutely no intrinsic value, its sole purpose is to acquire other things. It is a means, not an end. And so it will be with your cities. Money is never a specific goal for city governors, and yet all must manage it wisely if they are to succeed at the goals they have been set. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/ranksalary?rev=1716980526&do=diff h) Your Rank & Salary YOUR RANK AND SALARY C aesar permits governors to pay themselves a monthly salary from their province's revenues. Rome gives your province a sum of money to begin a new city, and sometimes offers cash bailouts or credits . It also automatically pays you a modest wage. This allows you to accumulate wealth outside of your city's treasury. Your personal savings travel with you from one assignment to the next. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/senate?rev=1716980526&do=diff a) The Senate THE SENATE Senate T he Senate building is the city's main administrative structure. It houses your advisors, who maintain banners outside indicating the city's main four ratings: Culture, Prosperity, Peace and Favor, in that order. As the city progresses, these flags rise or fall to reflect your performance, so you won't need to visit your Ratings Advisor to see how well you are faring. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/start?rev=1716980526&do=diff 12 Government, Admin, Money Government, Administration and Money I n your city, you are the government. Your role is to direct the construction of a city within your province, according to any guidelines and objectives given you by Caesar. Government is also expected to ensure a steady food supply, to provide watchmen (prefects) to protect against fire and crime, and to provide defense against any hostile barbarians.

As a house evolves, its inhabitants pay more tax. Villa inhabitants (patricians) pay very large amounts of tax. But nobody pays any tax at all unless a tax collector walks past the house to register it and collect the tax. Tax collectors are trained and employed by your city's Senate, and by its forums. Your Financial Advisor can change the income tax rate upon your instructions. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/tribute?rev=1716980526&do=diff g) Tribute TRIBUTE T he tribute is a payment to Rome. Think of it as Rome's return on their investment in your new city. I t will be a happy day for your province when Caesar begins to take tribute from you, for then you will know that you are contributing to the advancement of the Empire! All of Rome's provinces pay tribute, to contribute their share toward expanding and protecting the Empire, and to repay Rome's initial investment in opening up the new province. text/html 2024-05-29T11:02:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://caesar3augustus.com/book/government/triumphalarch?rev=1716980526&do=diff c) Triumphal Arch TRIUMPHAL ARCH Triumphal Arch R ome knows no greater splendor than the Triumph of a general returning from campaign, with his victorious troops escorting thousands of prisoners in chains and wagon after wagon of booty through the city. For generations, Romans have commemorated these Triumphs by building arches on the Via Sacra, Rome's greatest road.
