In my last game my tax rate ended up at 82%. It made it very hard to plan for the WOI with so little cash available. What tactics can I use to slow down the rate of tax increases during a game?
Does the frequency depend on the amount of goods traded in Europe or just the amount sold? If I buy guns and horses in Europe to sell to the Indians will that still help push up the tax rate?
Does the Kings attitude significally affect the tax rate? I usually try and stay in favour with him early on but later in the game I refuse to make any cash payments.
If I buy cheap military from the King would that have any bearing on the tax rate?
How important is it to trade in large quantities? If I send me goods to market frequently in small volumes will that result in a higher tax rate than if I wait until I can fill a Galleon each time?
