Re: Taxing
like Bo Jangles says, it is common practice to tax 200% on the first turn while using your starting commander to patrol. This gives a big boost in the number of units you can immediately recruit and, thus, allows you to expand much faster. You would only do this on the first turn typically.
Also, when raiding enemy territory, if you don't expect or plan to hold on to a province for very long, it is worth taxing 200%. That way you suck as much gold out of it while you can, and by the time the enemy gets it back the unrest is so high (and maybe pop so low) as to make it worthless in the near future.
