Kiss my pinky ring!

SunTzu · Sep 19, 2002, 11:52 AM

What Tax percentage do you let the king raise on you till u start having "product" parties?
Like do you let it get to 15% before u start denying the king? or what

gr8ful wes · Sep 19, 2002, 11:57 AM

I sometimes start throwing the parties right away, especially if I can grow tobacco and sell it to the natives. you can get $2,000-$3,800 on one load sometimes. (trade with capitals)

That high tax rate can be a bugger, so I try to keep it as low as possible.

Further more, after I get Stuyvesant, I never kiss the ring.

Becka · Sep 19, 2002, 12:04 PM

I don't kiss ring, I kick butt.

Furs are the first things I usually have to throw over.

When I can sell them to the other powers, I do, but silver's more important. It only really hurts when I happen to have trade goods in a colony and I have to either dump them or pay a tax. Same with tools and muskets. It's not good when you lose 100 tons of tools and muskets in your blacksmithing colony.

But you eventually make it back, though it takes a while.

Besides, I REALLY don't need that tax when I'm bringing in a lot of Inca gold.

I normally kiss the pinky ring at the start, but try and get Stuyvesant as soon as possible so I can hold the product parties. Those customs houses are magnificent, and it frees up your naval power at the same time. You don't have to go back and forth to Europe as much, only to pick up new colonists.

If I can I try and not let the percentage get above 10-12%.

LordAzreal · Sep 20, 2002, 04:51 AM

I try to avoid kissing the ring right away. Especially if the proposed increase in tax is really high.

It was quite amusing once when I had nearly all of my products boycotted and it asked if I wanted to throw a 'horses party'.

"Jamestown Horses party held. 100 tonnes of horses thrown into the sea..."

Fortunately, I just gained the Trade advisor who removes all boycotts shortly after.

However, when I am drawing closer to independence and have Thomas Paine in the congress, I let the taxes loose, so I can increase rebel sentiment further.

Thrawn · Oct 06, 2002, 02:08 PM

I never used to kiss the pinky ring. Its still possible to trade with Europe even with the boycotted products. Just hold down U when trading I think. Haven't played for a long time, installed it the other week, but it crashed.

SunTzu · Oct 06, 2002, 09:40 PM

well, a good thing about trading boycotted products is, if you have alot of products boycotted and then u get the guy that allows trading with other european colonies, those products in Europe, their prices are probably sky high. I had Coats going for $25, lots of money! i'm trading 100tons of Coats to the spanish for something like $1600! i've done traded some 1000tons, thats lots of money!
But the spanish keep on moving forces near my colonies forcing me to declare war. Right now we both have military power of 117 lol should be a very interesting fight!

gr8ful wes · Oct 07, 2002, 12:56 PM

SunTzu,
Some may scoff at this but get ben franklin in office, put a scout by a spanish town, fight them all you want and end your turn with the scout asking for peace. I dont do this all of the time but sometimes it is kinda fun.

SunTzu · Oct 07, 2002, 02:28 PM

ok, can u ask the spanish for peace? or does it come up automatically?, i didn't know you could open negotiations

Shabbaman · Oct 08, 2002, 06:55 AM

[OT]Today, I picked up colonization again. I used to play it a lot. I almost fell of my chair laughing when I saw the message: Kiss my pinky ring!
[/OT]

Seriously SZ, I used to be an expert in this, but I don't know. Maybe tomorrow...

All I remember was getting stuyvesant. Allright, I'm back to work...or shall I play just one more turn?

gr8ful wes · Oct 08, 2002, 09:24 AM

SunTsu
have the scout enter the foriegn colony and several options come up. They always ask for peace when you have Franklin.

SunTzu · Oct 08, 2002, 10:19 AM

oh ok, so a scout then. Nice, thank you!

spycatcher34 · Oct 09, 2002, 04:52 PM

If possible I dont get any taxes. But if it's like Throw 100 musket in the harnour and only like 1% Id do it. But usually it's like a 100 furs or 8% takes... no thogut there!

Specialist290 · Jul 08, 2003, 05:12 PM

I don't throw anything overboard until the taxes reach about 7-8%, and even then I don't throw away anything valuable like muskets, tools, or silver.

#1 Person · Aug 06, 2003, 08:44 AM

I will trow anything away exept manufacuered goods

emu · Aug 06, 2003, 11:44 AM

when i first played i throw those parties all the time, until i realised they werent real parties

Finvola · Sep 04, 2003, 12:40 AM

I never kiss the pinky ring. I did when I first started playing, but no more!

Matrix · Sep 04, 2003, 04:29 AM

It depends on the resource. I never kiss a pinky ring for food, even if it's 1%. Silver however...

Or other stuff I sell a lot at home...
