Spring of Gold ruined in 1.5.7

Heyho,

I just subscribed to Bannerlord Beta and noticed, that 1.5.7 changed to Spring of Gold perk (0.1% interest on your gold). It now is capped at 1000 gold per day.

Imo this ruined the perk. To get it (250 in trade) you have to commit your character heavily, almost solely to trading and spend hours on hours travelling between cities. So it is nothing you get by chance, you have to work and grind for it with it as your only goal. Getting only 1000 Gold per day max (you still have to have 1 million gold to get to this max) is not worth the grind.

When I started my current trading character, I started him solely because of this trait, knowing that maintaining garrissons and an army later on is insanely expensive and can only be maintained by constant warfare, selling loot and getting favorable peacetreaties.

My goal was to get Spring of Gold, grind several millions of gold for some good interest rate (what also takes a very long time and a lot of effort) and then found my own peaceful kingdom, with no need for constant warfare. I can now totally scrap this idea, as well as my character.

The 1000 gold cap would be perfectly fine imo, if Spring of Gold was a level 50 - 100 perk. That would be somewhat easy to reach, without heavy point and time investments. That would just mean some nice extra cash and allow for a little bit slower pace of campaigning. But for a level 250 skill and everything one has to sacrifice to reach it, 1000 gold per day is nothing. It is not worth the effort anymore.
