Im not really sure where i should post this so i'll try it in a few places. Im starting a merchants guild out of the city that im creating. Im 23rd level and so have 700 or so followers. 700 followers have families so im guessing 'll have about 2,000 people coming to live around me as i build this city based on merchants and the farms around. So im building my house and a giant bay useing a whole lot of move earth spells cast by one of my friends characters. Then building defences and such for the city and will have a tax basic kingdom stuff. The thing i need help on is that im not sure how much money people would make off of a sailing ships cargo. what generic stuff i can trade and how much i can make for it etc. then i'll know how much they make how much i get for taxes from it and thus how much i can spend on the city and reinforcements again. rough ideas?
I looked at the players but that doesn't have any real commerce goods atleast nothing u would transport in bulk. I could just multiply costs of moving the average weight and cost for outfits or a bulk of tools but. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
