My simplification runs thus:
"cow" is worth 20. Each subsequent cow augments this at the default +2 (we allow a default of +1/10 rating)
Therefore, 3 cows = 26 to be used to augment
Similarly for any multiple items, take a base Wealth (the highest one if items vary) and add 1/10 the others.
Now, you suggest (Current Wealth + Augmentation Resistance)-20 vs New Wealth
I'm no longer sure about the -20. Against a common Heortling (Wealth 15), attempting to gain +4 Wealth from 3 cows (as the example in the rules) at full value would be 15W vs 6W. That's not actually too bad, for just 3 cows! Less ambitiously, a mere +1 would be just 20 vs 6W. It depends whether you want a lot of rich characters...
