From another thread, I isolate this:
(snip)
It is all multipled as the investments are part of your manor, so the latter.
So manor (?6) + Dairy(with an outcome of ?3) = 9 * Harvest(Excellent *2) = ?18
This means ... (snip)
The BoM has an error in this part of the system. I'm embarrassed it got through to publication, and I'd thought I brought this up in the Errata. Here's a correction to page 48, whole lower right quarter of the page.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
Page 48, r column, replacement starting at C. Harvest
A couple of other little improvements are thrown in.
C. HARVEST
1. Make an opposed resolution of Stewardship against Misfortune
2. Determine Anticipated Income from the Harvest Result Table (page 44)
Check for Column shift from Gentlewoman’s Bonus and/or Tribute.
3. Multiply Anticipated Income by Harvest Result.
4. Record the Manor Income
5. If short, then squeeze, log, release retinue or mercenaries, etc. Repeat until everything is paid for, adjust Manor Income
D. COMPLETE PROJECTS
• Check for a spontaneous rebuild of destroyed structures (p 17)
• Check to see if Improvements have been built (p 16)
• Check to see if Fields have been cleared (voluntarily, and paid-for)
• Check for Natural Population Growth (29)
3. Record known Expenses for next year, as well as unexpected Expenses from this year. (See: pg. 7)
4. Update Treasury.
E. Expenses
1. Pay Annual Maintenance for standard of living, annual investments, enhancements, fortifications etc.
2. Pay for new projects, troops, etc. etc.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In other words, at the Midwinter feast (Christmas, New Year, Yule, whatever) the lord of the manor gives out gifts to his household (i.e. annual income) and payment to his servants (salary/income).
Servants, including the keepers of any investment or enhancement, are servants and can be dismissed at any time without consequence. The household are as family, they are the famulia, and are always paid for. (They are what provide the Standard of Living).
This completely separates the income from the outgo, makes a lot of sense, and makes the system run easier. If you are using it, you will have one year of jump/crunch to decide about. Otherwise, start this way!
