Another floris question.

[Weizen1988]

So i bought land from the landowners in sargoth, at first id make a little money every few weeks, and id buy more land, suddenly im making -4000 denars every time i go to collect, whats going on? Is there some kind of overflow after a certain number and it goes into thinking i have negative land, or is there some sort of diminishing returns associated with more land and ive bought so much it costs me to just hold onto it?

To be honest, though I really like the Floris mod generally, economics is buggy and seems to have been designed by someone with no knowledge of even basic bookkeeping.
Apparently it is possible to lose money when buying real estate with negative income!

I believe the stability of a town and prosperity of the villages and number of caravans, etc. affects the rent income of landowners.
My advice is to buy land in a nice peaceful corner of the map; personally, I found the Rhodok towns to be very profitable.

How much a property pays is based on both how wealthy the town is and how many people are in the town. Essentially what is happening is that you own the land yourself and you are renting it out to citizens of the town. If the town is wealthy, each plot of land is valuable and you charge the people more for it. However if the population is small then there aren't enough people to work the land, and you have to pay maintenance to keep the unused land in shape. If your land in a city is costing you money, then either the city has been so hurt by war and banditry that people are abandoning it or you chose to create new land beyond what the population can work.

I've experienced the former a few times on my own, with Shariz getting repeatedly recaptured in a Rhodok-Sarrinid war. If this is similar to your situation then you should either try helping the city recover or sell off some land so you pay less maintenance. If the latter case, then just sell the land. Eventually the market will abandon it and the amount of land will return to a more optimal amount.

Its the second one, i was at the max population size, but i owned like 250 acres of land, ive dropped down to 150 and its slowly getting better, overall number of existing acres is going down, when prosperity gets better ill see how high i can go.

Ya I think at a certain amount you start losing money for some reason. I just imagine that surplus is larger then demand and I cant sell all my product lmao I usually buy about 100 in each town.

Go to the same place you buy it and after you click the amount you want change the box from buy to sell. (sry not best directions but havent played in awhile) It is a lil confusing at first but its the same boxes that you buy land.

[Weizen1988]

I think you click on thing that says "buy land" and it changes to sell land.
