Sure you've trashed your capital but you'll end up with almost 50% more gold during that time period. And with a 50% advantage in numbers/forts/labs you should be able to more than make up for the reduction in you capital through expansion.

Maybe because in reality your going to get nothing like that...
Basic testing shows you need 6 foresters patrolling to overtax at 200% without causing unrest problems...
