Patrollers in d2

I like to start out burninating the countryside with pillaging, when the population is high: That can kill off thousands in one turn. Combine with cranking up the tax rate to 200, to squeeze them as much as possible, and then when population starts to hit the 40s, I switch a commander at the end to patrol. That tends to zero out the population very nicely.

Also, did you know you can double your empire's income in any province that has gold sites as Ermor by cranking those taxes? The undead always pay their bills in full.
