The limiting factor is that he only has enough laborers available to work 400 acres instead of the thousands he could clear and use for crops.The other factors you talk about are true, but in this kingdom the economy is developed enough using the books that I used, to know what he could spend his money on. Mostly books, Bardic entertainment, tutor/teachers for his children, buying wall hangings, paintings, fine horses, fine armor, fine weapons, fine everything. So plenty to spend money on, even in real life medievel times, depending on where you want to talk about.According to the economic model I used from the books the farmers effectively earn 3 GP per month. Either coin, food, or likely a combination of both.So, since the books and the economic similator therein set the standards of living, which in turn are set by the standards established in the 3E DMG and PH. Standards that WOTC admits are not realistic to begin with.As a result everything has to be extrapolated from a base line that is itself greatly exagerated.So nothing is taken as "realistic", just as a workable system that allows me to make decisions based on some kind of system that works.Which is what I really want the economic system to do, work. So far it does. With bigger numbers than I would think, but with an "adventuring class" like we have in D&D it is probably needed to allow nobility to at least keep pace in terms of wealth.</blockquote>
