France Budget

[Jefgte]

I know what France will be doing in the next few years

You know...

[Walter]

Yes I know: raise the taxes in order to squeeze every centime from the poor citizens of France. ;D

[Valles]

Per-turn budget for a starting nation at 3% tax rate: $99.

This is something I've also run into with Japan, and honestly, I never expected anyone to go for such an army-emphasis as I have precisely because of those costs - I was figuring that 12 corps would be a fairly typical 'size', and that no one else would bother with 'Regular' troops.

[Jefgte]

... but unfortunately that trick isn't going to work.

Also...

15 Corps * $20 = $300
6 Depots * $8 = $48
6 Engineers * $8 = $48
4 constables * $2 = $8
4 Siege Arty * $2 = $8
106 citadels * $1 = $106
Total = $518

I understand , In the Excell board, the colun "Construction cost" is outside the calculation  :-[
