	Some increases are added together, not multiplied. For example, say you're getting 100 armies per second, and you get an upgrade of 10%. Now you're getting 110 armies per second. Then you get another upgrade of 10%, it makes your total increase 20% bringing your armies per second to 120. But if you look only at that second upgrade in isolation, you might be confused on why 110 to 120 isn't quite 10%. The answer is because the upgrades are added together with your previous upgrades, not multiplied.		Some increases are added together, not multiplied.

If you get the Statistics advancement, it will unlock the Modifiers Breakdown which allows you to see details about each modifier affecting you which makes this easier to see.

			== Increased Money From Territories didn't increase my income as much as advertised ==

			Not all of your money/sec comes from territories -- some of it comes from bonuses. If you get the Statistics advancement, you can easily see how much of your money comes from territories versus bonuses.

			If you don't have the Statistics advancement yet, you can get an idea of where your money is coming from by clicking around the map. Territories and Bonuses will identify themselves in the inspect area at the bottom, and each will say how much money per second they generate.

			== Army Camp upgrade didn't increase my armies/sec as much as advertised ==

			Some increases are added together, not multiplied. For example, say you're getting 100 armies per second, and you get an upgrade of 10%. Now you're getting 110 armies per second.

	Think of it this way: You're spending some money on mercenaries and some money on army camp upgrades. Buying mercenaries gives you armies immediately, but buying army camp upgrades gives you armies over time. Therefore, it's far better to do those army camp upgrades first and buy the mercenaries later, so your camp upgrades have more time to produce armies. Upgrading army camps when a level is almost complete is not an efficient plan.		Think of it this way: You're spending some money on mercenaries and some money on army camp upgrades.
