Ermor: yes,good example where overtaxing always makes sense.Can be a bit annoying though,if you are unlucky and your chaff troops cant deal with the unrest,since you only got very few turns to squeeze out the money.

@Krpeters
one more thing:
Growth positively affects your provinces before you switch them to overtax,which may take quite some time.Likewise Death negatively affects them.

(The Death scale+overtax rush idea is a fail,since,again,it is impossible to get enough patrollers going early on,while expanding at the same time.)
