Chuck Rees Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think that we should be abel to control our nations taxes instead of them being defined by the polices 2 Quote BIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwemyrn Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Why? Idk but I kinda agree. Like it should be something you'd be able to control in the fact book I would think, unless they actually affect something? 1 Quote -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwemyrn Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Like maybe I want my nation's taxes to be low, but a communist nation would want their nation's taxes to reflect the communism. Idk probably sound like a dumbass as per usual. 1 Quote -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk probably sound like a dumbass as per usual. Your government policies determine what kind of government you are and thus determine the tax levels. If your policies are more communist then I'm sure taxes will be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumnus Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Why? If someone is going into the policies page with the sole intent of only changing their tax, and their tax (and other policies) have no effect on their actual in-game economy, why obfuscate tax rate behind general questions? I am allowed to set specific numbers for every other aspect of my nation. Example: It's an inconsistent and heavy handed approach as compared to the rest of the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitri Valko Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah, this game gives you a lot of freedom to have your own national pretty much anything, but when it comes to taxes, it's predetermined by policies? I agree with having a custom tax we can impose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnipotent Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm against this, as such a large change in something so fundamental to the working of the game, will most likely mean massive changes in game mechanics. If the game had just come out, I could support this, but at the present time, it's just going to annoy people who have worked out how to build under the current mechanics, as guides, plans and strategies could become obsolete. The current aesthetic system works as it is, leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current aesthetic system works as it is, leave it. You're wrong, tax rate doesn't have any effect on the game, it's not fundamental at all. This is what the wiki says about it The tax rate of a nation is determined by its social and economic policies, but is used in such a way that it cancels itself out. The tax rate affects a city's average income and a nation's total revenue, but cancels itself out since the average income is divided by the tax rate whereas the total revenue is multiplied by the tax rate. As a result, the value that a nation's tax rate takes has no effect on the nation's revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki Mod Dr Rush Posted January 26, 2016 Wiki Mod Share Posted January 26, 2016 I can think of a great many things sheepy's time is better spent on. Also from what I understand tax rate & average income are inversely related so their effect is null but they are included in the income formula & that would have to be changed as well. 1 Quote 23:38 Skable that's why we don't want Rose involved, so we can take the m all for ourselves 23:39 [] but Mensa is the cute girl at the school dance and she's only dancing with us right now to get our friend jealous 23:39 [] If Rose comes in and gives Mensa what she wants, she'll just toss us aside and forget we ever existed 23:39 zombie_lanae yeah I do hope we can keep having them all to ourselves 23:40 zombie_lanae I know it's selfish but I want all their love 6:55 PM <+Isolatar> Praise Dio Pubstomper|BNC [20:01:55] Rose wouldn't plan a hit on Mensa because it would be !@#$ing stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I mean, taxes don't really matter in the end anyways. So why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumnus Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I mean, taxes don't really matter in the end anyways. So why? if you're argument is to cut out things that don't effect score in the end, why not get rid of the factbook as well? the factbook was added to give players greater customization over their nation. taxes that could be custom set (remember SimCity ) continue in that spirit.

Lilac Veritas Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah the average income is related to tax rate, but then it cancels out so you get (1+ [commerce/50])(725/1000) per citizen (they should put the factorised form on the wiki). So it's purely cosmetic and thus could be removed from the revenue page and just added to the factbook.

Spite Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Who even cares? The only thing I ever look at on your nation pages is your army count and score. Do people actually read fact books?

I have zero issue with the fact book being axed. I still feel it was a waste of dev time even more then this is.
