    The real rich are Timbuktu and America. The other settlement has "potential" and becomes rich as long you control most of the area and no neighboring port/cities without trade agreement (or at war). Siege and port blockade suffer the city to half, and reduce income due to missing settlement that on siege/blockade. 1. Thessaloniki, Antioch, Alexandria, Iconium, Constantinople, Jerusalem and Nicosia (I like to change it to city) 2. Genoa, Florence, Tunis, Cagliari, Ajacio, Rome and Palermo 3. Zagreb, Vienna, Prague 4. Marseille 5. Stockholm, Olso 6. York, Arhus, Bruges

    Hey Dux, this video is world class and really helped me understand the game on a deeper level. I had one question, you speak of resources being tier 1 to tier 5? I have tried to find a reference for this tier system and cannot find a list of high value products or low value products on a tier system. Is this just your own reference or is there a list? I have been working through your videos and they are literally changing the game for me. Rome Napoleon next. Thanks and kind regards :)
