what size map are you playing on? I've been playing on Large maps and I'll usually establish 3-4 cities before i run into the other factions borders and by that time i already have a prospering economy...however on some maps it has started me in the middle of nowhere with no fertile land or anything so I could do like absolutely nothing except slowly die while my soldiers deserted me due to lack of funds haha It also helps to recruit the heroes who give bonus to your Gil

Assimilation - Upon conquering an opposing factions city, your troops can hold the city for x amount of turns before all buildings are auto

In most of the games I have started in the beta I would have my Sov and about 3 other heroes with some soldiers/summoned creatures as my adventuring party while the rest of my heroes protected my settlements and caravans, so the implementation of hero governors that can affect their city would be a nice addition. I wonder if it would be possible to make the hero gov gain bonuses for protecting the city (destroying roaming brigands, protecting caravans, successfully defending agains
