I was playing Civilization V Brave New World and a notice popped to the right saying that the city-state of Genoa will appreciate gold investment at the moment (20 turns remaining) and will return 50% profit.
I thought if I give them a huge amount of gold like 3000 gold they will return 4500 to me. After some turns I noticed that I didn't get the big flow of gold. I checked the city-state and noticed the gold investment quest is not there anymore.
How do these gold investment quests work?
Best Answer
Investment quests grant additional influence from donations to the city state (IE, if a 1000 gold donation normally grants 50 influence, you will gain 75 influence if you donate 1000 gold during a public works project quest), there is no direct way to get money back from a city state.
