Wherein is contained the TRUE and TESTED knowledge of the AUTHOR in matters pertaining to the RUNNING of one's KINGDOM.

Collecting Resources

Your local subjects will work hard to gather resources for you. When you wish to collect what has been gathered, talk to your Advisor so that they may deliver them to your bank.

Remember be patient! Rather than continually pestering your advisor to check if more resources have been brought in yet, consider methods you can use to increase the amounts collected, which are set forth in the pages that follow.

Approval Ratings

Your approval rating has an important effect on the amount of resources gathered by your subjects; the more they love you, the more they will collect. If, Guthix forbid, your approval rating should ever drop to near 0, your subjects would be loath to gather anything at all!

Your approval rating will drop quite low over time if you do nothing to increase it. The surest way to improve your rating is to go and help your subjects with their resource-gathering tasks.

Even helping a single fisherman fish can be enough, for he will surely tell his friends and family how kind you were.

The Royal Coffers

Your subjects are rewarded for their work straight out of the contents of the royal coffers; should there ever be no money remaining in the coffers, your subjects will have to concentrate on satisfying their own needs and so will not be able to gather anything for you.

Each day, one tenth of the contents of the royal coffers are distributed to your subjects, up to a maximum of 75,000 coins. Of course, the greater the share, the more the more they will be eager to work for your, but be careful not to spend your riches to frivolously. The coffers will hold up to 7.5 million coins.

Divisions of Labour

You may decide at one time or another that you require large amounts of a certain resource above all others; or simply that you do not require a certain resource, and do not wish your subjects to gather any of it. By talking to you advisor, you may decide the amount of time and effort your subjects will devote gathering each resource.

Etceterian Citizens

Etceteria has pledged some of its subjects to gather resources for you. If you help them with their tasks they will be as loyal as any Miscellanian to aid you and give you the results of their work.
