Never heard of that, although we have 49m in the treasury at the moment so don't have to worry about it for some time.

lol
I guess not
well our city was built and I had it so that it didn't need donations. But then everybody wanted more stuff so I put in more stuff and then it costs about 200K each week out of the treasury that taxes didn't make up so our treasury has slowly been going down.
But like I said, according to my numbers we had enough for 2 or 3 more weeks.
BAH!

does your treasury rely on sales tax heavily? there's currently a bug where some cities are not receiving their sales tax. if you can please test that out (ask one of your merchants to help), then follow these steps to report them. thanks

Hey guys,
though the city of Dohrian has had problems in the past we've always been able to figure it out.
That was until now!
We just had our weekly income stealing period and I got messages that we didn't have enough cash!!!
Last week we had 641k left in the treasury.
Now our city costs about 641500 each week (depending on what's happening etc.) so it shouldn't have been too bad once taxes were collected right?
Well with our tax structure it should have lasted us another 2 or 3 weeks at least!
2k income
15% property
100 shuttle
5% garage
5% merchant
Now somehow we only had 312500 left in the treasury according to our email and we lost a ton of decorations because of it.
What the heck happened????
It is possible that my numbers are off and I do have to check them but if they work out then this would be the first I'm hearing of money leaving the treasury BEFORE maintenance time (thus the 312500 number)
I just found it odd. We'll rebuild and figure something out but I have no idea what could have happened.
Just thought I'd let you all know

well Pappi for us to make money we do rely on our merchants but we've been lacking in that department lately.
I am currently trying to get some merchants to help test it but for the situation I described above two things had to happen... money had to be removed from our treasury AND no taxes (other then maybe property) were collected.
I'm looking into it and checking my numbers and weekly calculations etc. It may have been I just missed one lately and didn't notice the treasury get critically low
*shrug*
I'll keep everyone posted.

Ok I think I've figured out the problem but it's still a little odd.
I know for sure we would have been about 40k give or take 10k short on our maintenance that week. I forgot to add in the change from lvl 3 to lvl 4 that we had since one week prior.
So in the end it is my fault. But the numbers still don't quite add up. I'm still crunching numbers so I'm hoping to determine the problem.
Sorry about this.
There is no major glitch here (at least not yet).

I'm envious
Our city for now is privately funded, but I still can't imagine having THAT MUCH surplus in there...wow, congrats

Um...dude....49m in your treasury...
Our city maint is 600k per week, which means 49m would last is 80 weeks. A year and a half....

Yeah its great at the moment and is a pull for people to join the city but I worry about the time it runs out and all of a sudden our citizens will have to start paying tax which some of them will never have done before and won't be used to after living in a free society, we share and share a like in our guild, buffs, resources everything is free to guild members as I found this encourages more team work and interation etc etc. We do get the odd person that try to 'pull a fast one' but they don't last long.
