Pophead: Tribute Collector!

The Last Conformist · Apr 6, 2006

Taxation is all well and good, but sometimes you just need to show who's boss with a bit more emphasis. This is where the Tribute Collector comes in - with his spear and his permanently pissed-off visage, he's sure to get in that revenue without the subjects expecting any pesky puplic services in return.

I like it! I'd suggest that it has these stats.:

-1 Happiness (The citizen represents occupation)
+2 Commerse (It's a tribute collector)
-1 Corruption (It's more difficult for crime to opperate with Spear-Weilding pissed-off tribute collectors).

Available at around Monarchy or Feudalism

This shouldn't be too unbalancing, although it'd have to be tested first to see

That's so cool!

Love it

Great idea.

Haha! Great idea. I think Virote_Considon hit the nail on the head with the suggested settings.

Thanks for the comments.

Currently, I'm only using him as a Taxman replacement in the Maya mod, but I've got further employment planned for him ...

Wow! I'd pay up!

Although I must say that I think Virote Considon's suggested stats would be unbalancing. -1 happiness is a big minus, and I don't think it would be sufficiently offset by merely +2 commerce and -1 corruption.

I think the sats are great; people get unhappy with taxes imagine this!

You might be right but I'm not so sure it'd be the end of the world. Would a suitable happiness improvement or luxury access 're-balance' it? Shame if not, because those setting make good sense.

It looks great! :thumbsup:

@Ram: It would depend alot on the availability of luxuries and happiness buildings. If it seems to weak, you could boost the tax bonus to +3, +4, or even more.

Virote_Considon · Apr 7, 2006

If the happiness seems too unbalancing, maybe make it raise taxes and/or lower corruption more?

This is great. It made me laugh. (In a good way)

Seems sensible, but don't forget the first sentence of your post, otherwise the second would be a poor and lonely compromise.

Hey, shut up and pay tribute like everyone else.

Good job, LC!
