Rebalancing Gold Mines

[Sian]

Just noticed something that i thought could use a rebalance check. with Development a thing, Gold mines now give a lot less income than they did previously, bringing it down to the level of all other trade goods (and thats probably a good thing in and of itself) but from what the inflation raise from having gold mines doesn't seem to have dropped, which leads to the situation that Gold might well be one of the least wanted trade goods now that they don't give much more than anything else in pure production income, but still raises inflation a fair bit.

I think it's 8 per year, per development. That's about 0.66 per development. Not to be sniffed at. The main difference is the lack of manufactory, which does mean that over time the benefit does decrease. And if you want the big bucks, you have to invest.

Gold inflation is about the percentage of your income, so if it's worth less to your country then it doesn't increase inflation as much, so I'm surprised you feel that it's worth less.

EDIT: Could it be that you've been playing with your gold mines in 1/1/1 provinces?

I usually develope gold productivity until 10. Is pretty worth it.

There are ways to handle inflation.
