Default Re: Death and Taxes... well mostly taxes...

Well, I am of the opinion that setting taxes at 200 is roughly equivalent to finding a suitably unscrupulous minor official, helping him recruit a set of burly bodyguards, and officially make him your tax collector. He'll extort what he can for a time, send you your share of the bounty, and eventually the high unrest will force him to more or less stay in his fortified manor and tax only the farmer next door, unless you back him up with some real troops...
