Editing Arduum: Citizens

At the time of the liberation of Arduum by the order of cleansing fire, there were:

300 women & children
80 male/warrior sorts.

Then the group from the caves of chaos returned to Arduum - some 400 dwarves.

Now, you probably do need some infrastructure expenditures to clean up the place, which are not accounted for. It will take some big expenditures when you decide to clear the rubble to totally open up the city. 

'''As of this point, we'll just assume you have 800 citizens + troops in the city. After the trip to the dwarven lands, 1200 more citizens will shortly come to the city to join you. You can also return with another set of troops to match what you currently have, so just double numbers and expenditures. If you want something else, we can deal with that separately.'''

Quick math: 2000 citizens will result in 20,000 gp annually in taxes. 200 troops (plus leaders, armorers, etc.) would cost 2280/month = 27,360/year. That leaves you with a shortfall of 7,360 gp per year.

Note: new troops will show up when you hit 9th level, if you want them and can afford them.

Note: you can support more citizens in the city, but how many in the older area is up for discussion. Everyone feel free to argue how many should be able to fit in the Cit now. Feel free to argue how many more the Old City can support once opened up.

The current mining operations will produce tax revenue of 10 gp per person per year, the same as farming. Opening up new mining will increase this rate.
