Question about taxation in Nov 26 patch
Question about annual taxation in the newest beta patch. I've played 2 years now as Venice. The first year-end, I was at war still with Croatia & Hungary. They were besieging Istria & Dalmatia. No other of my provinces had been occupied. The tax collector in Veneto had finished by year turn (I started it before unpausing at start of 1419). I got exactly 8 gold to start January with (and the Venice COT was full). Monthly income is 16.
I thought perhaps it was because only Venice had a tax collector, so I played through another year end. Now at peace, retaining all provinces. Istria & Dalmatia were looted. 5 of my 6 provinces (not Dalmatia) had tax collectors by year start. Venice COT is still full; I am still pulling in over 16 per month. But annual taxes are still only 12 gold!
Question - does anyone know why annual taxes are so much lower now (Venice would have had over 50 before this patch)? I can see from documenation how it could only be 25% w/o the tax collector, but by the 2nd year almost all my provinces had one.... Perhaps not all sources of annual income are now being included in the total?
If this is not a bug, is it possible to raise the level of annual income back to more like pre-beta? The only way now to get any money is to take it out of the monthly income, leading to inflation. Perhaps more realistical would be to allow some level of monthly income (a certain %) to be taken without any inflation penalty. But if that's not something being planned, how about putting the annual income higher again?
Pretty please?
