Making money in adventure mode

[FlyingAllNight]

Feel like posting this is like asking for it to be nerfed. But i'm wondering if I have found the best way to make cash.

So my present game is going Architect and building as much as possible before conquering a piece land. Usually i go into southern India where there is multiple pieces of 25 developed land.

My starting character made it to 90 years old and died with 50k in the bank. I actually retired from building in my 50's and became king at 55. If I knew I would live so long I would have kept building.

What i'm wondering is if there is a better way to break the game and make more cash then steward start in adventuring?

Actually, yes, there is. Start as any major viking and raid Europe to death. It would be less than 50k, sure, but then again there's renown, prestige, diverging/hybridizing which you want to do early on to start the counter for when you can do it again.

As an adventurer you can't really accomplish anything a ruler wouldn't be able to, and whatever you do there's gonna be opportunity cost to it. Besides, your heirs won't receive any dividends, living until 90 is not a given, and with spending a few years to build one city at a time, yours seems to be an edge case rather than something in an urgent need of balancing.
