Money boost in Beuracracy

[obsolete]

I have noticed that time and time again, when I switch to beuracracy, I just don't seem to notice much money boost. Oh the hammer production increases alright, I don't need to check the output to notice how things build faster, but I just don't see much added money income. Even when I hit the F1 key before and after, there doesn't seem to be much change for my capital. I thought there would be a 50% boost in gold, but maybe I am missing something.

Am I looking at this in the wrong way?

There should be a 50% boost in commerce, not gold. So if all your commerce goes to research, hovering over the capital's research output should show a "50% from Bureaucracy" line. If your science slider is at 70-80% you still won't notice much the improvement in gold, especially since that early you're likely not to have too many gold-multiplying buildings.

Also remember that in Warlords 2.08 Bureaucracy has a High Upkeep. That means higher costs, so less of a noticed effect on the commerce side. (not sure by how much...) The hammers are still very good though.

If you don't see a boost neither in gold, nor in science, next time build more cottages around the capital early.

If you look in the upper right corner, you'll see the effect of bureaucracy, which is a 50% boost to (69 becomes 103).

The picture is from 1.61 - Warlords is nicer about carrying fractions.

Ok thanks, I'll keep more details on that from now on.
