Generating wealth

[VladTepes]

In the early game I see hunting camps and trading posts generate wealth. Are there other ways, like certain crafts? All the types of crafts are mind boggling. I'm getting overwhelmed.

I also found generating wealth in the early game a struggle. The trading post makes a big difference. I think this is by design

I noticed that as well. Once you get some experts in cities, they can generate wealth in certain buildings too.

I got a religious verse early on that generates a lot of wealth, and early access to the Republic government from an event, which unlocked taxes. Was raking in tons of cash every turn. It's definitely a game where random circumstances matter a lot early on, which should make for a lot of variety in how you play the early game. I like that.

I started generating a lot of wealth with a combination of Monarchy (+5 wealth per city policy) and water regions! I will probably need to boost prosperity and make trade posts soon though, hahaha

The first big jump seems to be Monarchy, it's one of best reason to jump out of initial age asap
