Default Re: in which occasion will you raise taxes

1- I am experimenting with 200% "burn out" strategies. I suspect that we will see some of this in multiplayer. Possibly more than some.

2- Other than the burn out, the only time I would change taxes is either to devalue my assets when an enemy is beating me or to devalue enemy territory while I'm raiding.

Frankly I'm not happy with the economics of Dom II. The issues above combined with Ermor type dominion and a suspected player base that will be using much death scale, leads me to think that population shrinkage is going to be staggering in multiplay. This (and many other things) is going to lead to hardcore super combatants. I don't see this as a balanced nor preferable outcome.

I continue my tests, and hope that there is some mitigating factor that I haven't gleened yet.
