Default Re: Suggestion: Raising taxes: only in turn 2+ after conquering

Actually the reason that a change should be considered here is that the 200% tax gimnic is just plain broken. I mean there is never a reason not to do it is there? If your sneaking force wins the battle (and how hard is it really to do this vs some nations PDs?) then you set to 200% get at least one turn of 'free' income, maybe more than that, then move on. As a tactical weapon its such a no brainer that it should be looked at again.

A better solution to some imposted restriction on what people can do with their tax rates is to rework the entire economic system, but hey, tink isn't asking for that... yet Just give me more time with him and he'll be in here championing even more unpopular ideas, well unpopular to the same old same old crowd anyway... sheesh do you guys ever sleep
