Default Re: Taxation above 100 (long)

In fact, Death-3 is slightly better in terms of accumulated income and breakeven turn, and it only has a 2% population penalty (roughly speaking) versus the Growth-3 case.

In some of my SP games I wrongly set Growth to 3 expecting a better income in the long run, but now I see those gains are just peanuts.

Just to make sure we're still on the same page: by turn 22, Growth-3 is going to be pulling in much more money than Death-3. The population percentages are relative to the same population, untaxed. That is, in a 30,000 province Growth-3 will be at 32k (110% tax) instead of 37k (100% tax), whereas Death-3 will be at say 26k (110% tax) instead of 28k (100% tax). I made those latter numbers up but I think they convey the point.

Growth can still be a good investment. I play SP, and I enjoy taking Growth scales so time is on my side. That said, toward the end game gem income is more important than gold income anyway so maybe I should take Death instead for extra points.
