Wall Street

[Geon]

This is something I just figured out, how much wall street rocks. 5% return is nice. If you set science all the way down and luxuries to a minimum for 10-20 turns, sell off any technologies you have to other civs(I have got 1k gold lump or 100/turn for new tech's before) you can amass 20k gold, giving you 1000 a turn just on interest, with that much cash I could live off the dividends almost. which means for the rest of the game you could almost make it on 0% tax and insane science

Alas, there is actually a cap of 50gold per turn.

It's still good, and allows you to cut your tax rate down to allow for more science, which you need to counter the creeping corruption everywhere...

heh I just use wall street to build up enough shield until i discover the tech for other wonders. Problem is that I never seem to have enough cash on hand to make enough off Wall Street wonder.

50 gold per turn cap? What level are you playing on? I have set my tax to 70 and was recieving 480gold per turn.
