It's bad to get all taxes without upsetting the people.

throug the modding years, I've learned a game must be winable on highest difficulty otherwise the difficulty would be senseless AND a game shall be more fun than challenging.What a great mod.
Some critics :
- The mod is too easy. I won easily on Deity/Quick speed on some scenarios (War of Diadochi). The A.I is dumb.
Micromanagement is NOT necessary in PAE. Perhaps on higher difficult levels but not to win in a lower level.- Too much micro management. Each turn you have to manage lot of things : slaves, units, units formation (I don't underestand because when you pick a formation, all units on the group has to have the same).
Yes I know, this is a strange feature (50% of the taxes go into the kings wallet, but how else shall I implement a "too high tax" feature if not like this?- The main problem is the fact you can't have 0 % science. It force you to constantely sell units over and over. And selling units give much more gold than producing gold/science directly. Not logical I think. And why a people would be happy if 50 % of the ressources go to "science", but not if the ressource simply go into your treasure?
This mechanic seems realistic but create big macro economic problem you are constantely forced to solve.

Intended. this is random. and yes, the more you trade the higher the chance of getting a road. that's why it seems you get short distance roads quicklier than long distance roads (because of movement limits and turns)I do not understand fully how to exploit the trade system. I want the trade roads, but even if I send 3 merchants, they are very very slowly build.
I understand that the main function of the merchant, is to grab a ressource you really want, then to copy it with your specialised food charriot.
Yes. as you like. keep a short trade road for money purposes or try to get a long distance trade road for better army transfer too.A last thing about the trade roads : According to what I see, it's really better to have a short trade trip, because your merchant will reach it and come back much more frequently, than to have a long road, but win a bit more gold.
