So, uhhh...

What can be done with money, really? I'm not seeing too much of a use for it beyond buying troops, but you don't need much for that.

Each military unit costs 1 money in upkeep as well.

Ahhhh

Alright. Can anything be done with accumulated money, though?

[Kashyyk]

It can be used as a trade medium, and some buildings cost money too.

[Rolepgeek]

...But I mean...

If it's not good for anything...

Why would I want to take it in trade?

[Kashyyk]

Why would you ever want actual money? It doesn't do anything other be a medium to trade with.

[Rolepgeek]

I know. But in a constrained economy like this, with maybe 6 actual 'traders', bartering is far more effective, and money as a medium is not required.

[Kashyyk]

Maybe you want a large stockpile so you can mass produce soldiers without fear of covering the upkeep? I dunno. If you don't want money then don't accept it in a trade I guess

[Rolepgeek]

BUT I HAVE SO MUCH

AND IT'S TAKING UP SO MUCH ROOM

THE PEASANTS ARE WASHING THEMSELVES WITH GOLD NOW

IT'S KINDA GROSS

The end limit on the size of military you can field is money because everything else is a one time cost. If you do build a large military you quickly see how important it is. That said, you should note that you can also buy pegasi (which is the only way to get them on this map) with money.
E: Note that it is only useful as a trade good if one of your neighbors wants to field a force larger then he can afford alone, which isn't particularly common (given that he can simply build markets and banks if he chooses).

[Rolepgeek]

OOOHHHH

How much do they cost?

It was a 50/50 chance of getting into the city before the Boydinians, whoever got there first would be able to defend it and win out. I risked my entire southern army on a single roll of the die, but fortune favours the bold!

Perhaps. But I'd like to see you try and break through Bordertown now. Go ahead. It'll be fun, I promise. I'll only get more soldiers as time goes on, after all.
