And it should probably be much, much higher.
The center of trade bonus in no way corresponds to the amount of wealth that flowed through the salt/gold/slave route in central and eastern Africa, all centered around Timbuktu as the main logistical point.
Can i get a link to the Byzantium and Ottoman events and decisions that increase the base tax of Constantinople.
You can see them on the Wiki pages for Ottomans and Byzantium. Each adds 5 base tax and does some other stuff. Ottomans just have to own Constantinople, Byzantium has to own pretty much all of Greece and Anatolia.
Ottomans also get an additional +1 basetax if they choose to dismantle the patriarchate.
This is a problem with all colonization. It just makes no sense at all that a colony instantly goes to full basetax city once it's done. Places like Manhattan going to full power doesn't make any sense, when colonization takes just a couple years (or less).
Exactly. Why not have every colony start at 1 base-tax and have colony-specific buildings that add base-tax/manpower so that you have to actually invest in your colonies to make them better?
The fact that the New World has a lot of base-tax provinces after just colonizing than mainland Europe does not make sense. Production for Trade sure (Furs, Sugar, Cotton, etc.), but Base Tax? No.
Until we have population/dynamic base tax we will have to live with that crap, I´m afraid.
