annex

[sheridon]

when we annex we should at least get half the resources that was in the province.

Hi my friend as I see you get that a maybe a little more....the trick is in how developed is your bureaucracy... remember that in the las provinces say+14 maybe you get less gold than what you where getting as vassal, but annexed province also produce resources.....

He wanted to get atleast half resources in province on annex so he dont need to loot it before. You have loot option, you first loot it 10 times or how manny times is profitable, then annex it. That way you get all resources in province.

[sheridon]

only profitable loot is the first 2, because when you calculate your losses of the attack + to annex only two loots is profitable, and then there is the 8 or so hours to wait for the resources to be produced, i think its best just to loot once then go back and hit annex. im speakling about beginning of era ok.

For the beginning of era you are right. First circle provinces are not that profitable but still i advise you to take some of that "free" meal.

Afterwards looting is THE way to gather missed resources/gold

Why first provinces are not profitable?? Free resources for 0 losses??

Comparing to second and third circle  . Also you might want to develop faster and it's not profitable to wait so long to totally clean province.

For me maximum 2 attacks and than colonize is formula for poorest colonies.

  60 swords each attack in losses. calculate that with 20k wood and 7200 iron. for hit and then annex its the same to replenish lost army. all attacks after that you lose more than you gain,

I stay with claim: no losses.
