OK Im making a none graphical stratagy game, and i came up with something. Should the way you gain money be from 'taxes' from the houses or from mines?

i made a list of pros and cons for making it so that you get money from taxes from houses and here it is...

Pros
-------------------------------
Only need to build one building
One building does two things in one

Cons
---------------------------------------
Players have less things to have to build (bad because we want the players to have to spend more money so that it will take a little bit longer to gain world domination, and because then thats one less thing to have to build which might make the game about 6% more boring)
Houses would have to be more expensive

Remember that houses also give room for population which you need to man all of your other buildings!

Please give me your ideas on this subject by posting here please!

thank you,

how do i make it so when you go into battle you will loose people?(because this is all text so there are no graphics or anything, so the battles are simulated through the war engine making this a tad bit harder) i cant seem to find anyway could somone please help me on this?
Thanks Again,
Tainer

edit: sorry for double posting, forgot about the edit post thingy

Why dont you just make it with graphics, or even just sprites?
A whole war engine and building houses is kind of hard to imagine
when playing a game.

I'm not sure what you mean by non graphical but as for the house/mine question houses are for population and mines are for resources which equals cash. Sounds fun for free time but might get bored from the lack of action.
