I remember back in -my- day when I was a newbie, we were given 40 gold a week and expected to field a unit. We got along just fine without all this high income mumbo jumbo these new kids have... we'd march our armies from Partora to Ibladesh uphill both ways chest deep in snow and still win battles.
Kids these days... no respect for their elders.
Back in MY days we were given an income of 1 gold a week! One! And my region had a population of 1 peasant even though it had two knights, I was taxing the work from his left arm, while my liege was taxing the work from the right arm! And sometimes you'd skip a week of income, and you'd just have to live through it, and you'd be expected to drive away 1000 CS monster units every. single. day! SO GET OFF MY LAWN!
(True story by the way. Man, Dwilight has gotten so easy.)
