What are people doing to earn money in beta? I've been keeping my citizens working and pillaging an idle guy on my island. Currently, my citizens are producing 2500 gold per hour and the pillages rake in 1400 per pillage.

How about you? Where's your money come from and what are you spending on?

All my accounts but 1 are over 1 mil. I do very little pillaging since I found out that I was doing it incorrectly, but I try and balance my military vs. per hour earnings, and sell the heck outta resources..

you both are obviously not expanding.

I'm running below 400k with 4 cities in total, although I did have to buy some marble and sulfur at one point cause all of you are too far from me.

get lots of sulfur and get gunpowder researched or bird flight, to build some ass kicking units.

i make 5k an hour from 4 of my cities, weirdly enough I make almost 7 k on alpha, from slightly smaller cities, 4 of them as well.

I've actually got 4 cities myself. One on each of the 4 resources, each bordering one another.

I think my next expansion will be somewhere closer to other TGA'ers. Current uptake of gold is about 2500g across all cities per hour. I'm also able to sell most resources at 30-35 per resource, which helps. Then add in the 1500 per take pillage of an inactive on my parent city island... it all adds up

I have 2 colonies on marble, and I still buy marble.

my colonies 16 +, except 1, and soon to be upgraded higher.
