	Wall Street income reduction Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Maybe this question was made before, but I was unable to find.

I would like to know why some times, the income you receive from Wall Street suffers a set back. I have notice this when I upgrade my units: the interest is 50 gold/turn, then I upgrade a number of units and the income become 20 gold/turn. After that, it grows until reach 50 gold/turn again, but only until I make my next unit upgrade, when this happens again.

Someone knows what's going on?

Your Wall Street income is 5% of your bank account (up to 50gpt). Upgrades cost a lot of money, so when you do themyou balance drops, and so with it your interest, and then it slowly builds back up, like you described.

It's a percentage of your overall gold on hand, capped to 50 gpt. (don't remember the percentage of the top of my head.) When you upgrade you're dropping your gold below the threshold level, thus dropping your percentage take below 50 gpt. As you save up more gold, it grows back up.

Thus, a good rule is to keep at least 1000 gold on hand at all times once you've got Wall Street, thus insuring the 50gpt remains constant.

Now I got the idea behind it.
I thought wrong about Wall Street and its income, but now I'll try to keep my gold reserves at least on 1000 gold.

thanx guys!
