Old world blues question

[NPC]

Im confused on how the caps work. I feel as if my income has stayed the same since the start of the game. How do improve cap income?

[Včelí medvídek]

Get trade nodes and send caravans for temporary income.

I dont play big countries as it is too easy so not sure about Caesar in current version. Caravans are sent from decision menu.

I was able to save caesar by taking new vegas. But the economy system still escapes me. One moment Im doing fine the next im -200k. I cant seem to find caravans in the decision meneus and I dont know how to increase cap/denari income even after taking multiple trade nodes.

Yeah I'm only just getting used to it. I would like a specific breakdown of exactly what is incurring every single cost. Other than that I've been told on the discord that militia units have a 75% reduced caps upkeep so I'm sticking with that for now lol.

Thats another issue when i go to the army tab and upkeep it says 0. And my armies been roughly the same size for sometime now but the numbers keep jumping wildly when it comes to income. one moment im making 20k the next -260k. I just trying to figure out whats causing it as well as how to improve income so i can manage it better.

HMMM, it occasionally does that for me. The only thing I'm able to see causing the jumps is when the caravans complete their run.

So for example when I send a caravan and it gets 170k caps per quarter, when that caravan completes its run that 170k extra income goes down to 0 and you have to send another caravan. Other than that it's been more or less consistent for me though I've only played one short trial campaign with it so far.

[Sovietkotek]

Can u see these?

The first screenshot shows you the caravan I have sent giving me 170k income per quarter.
The second screenshot shows the caravans you can choose from.

They are only greyed out because I'm at war, so make sure you have a giant stockpile of caps if you've got a high-upkeep army, because you can't use these when you're at war.

[Sovietkotek]

These options are under the purple Decisions tab here. If you can't see it then there is something horribly wrong lol.

Yes i have the tab however for whatever reason i do not have the send caravan choice just the others.

[Ikazuchi]

You can only send caravans when you control no trade node.
Ceasar controlls trade nodes, so no caravans.
