That sword cuts both ways, and tends to hurt you worse than your foe. After all, it's *you* that's trying to end up with the province, not him. He can't make troops while under siege anyway, and you wouldn't/shouldn't be attacking if you didn't plan to win. I only tax at 200% when raiding, not when attacking for conquest. |
