PhilD asked whether I made a boo-boo in saying that a fortress is also useful for taxation purposes: not just raking in resources from surrounding neihbors but also in improving their taxation structure. Nobody commented on this. Just wondering: does that mean I spread nonsense or I got it right?

I believe this is the of the nonsense variety. Having a fortress doesn't do anythign to the 'taxation' portion, only increased Gold from Admin.

I was under the impression that there was extra income generated in provinces with fortresses based upon Saber Cherry's "Newbies and Confused People ..." thread that you cited in your original post. Under "Section VIII: How to Choose a Castle" he states:

quote:

---

Gold production in the province is increased by (Admin/2)%

So is Saber Cherry right or wrong?

It is Admin / 2 %. So Fortified City with 50 Admin gives 25% increase in Gold in the province it is built.
