YOUR RANK AND SALARY

bookpillars.jpg

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.

You always hold a rank in the Empire. When you successfully complete an assignment, Caesar usually promotes you to a higher rank. Higher ranks merit higher salaries. You can pay yourself any salary that you think your city can afford, but you will automatically be paid the salary appropriate to your rank. Paying yourself a salary above your rank might anger important people in Rome.

Personal wealth can come in extremely handy.

Sometimes, you might want to donate money from your personal savings to your city's treasury. A couple of hundred denarii from your own pocket can be a wise investment in your city's future, if it prevents you from incurring Rome's wrath by needing more funds from them.

Additionally, Caesar always welcomes gifts from his governors. Any time you decide to send Caesar money from your private account, you will rise in his Favor.

scribe's note:

Gifts to the Emperor set a dangerous precedent. The more money you send Caesar, the more he grows to expect - and he might be insulted if your gifts don't grow in size. You can boost your Favor rating with gifts, sure. But unless you can sustain a pattern of giving, you might ultimately lose more Favor than you gain . . . not to mention the money!
