Hurray for friendship. Long live pie :snowlaugh: Bad kids like PeaceGuy will get :splat: for xmas.

The amount of trade you can do on normal speed is about 220 units initially. When you reach this threshold, you are viable for a tax increase. From then on, every turn there's a 20% chance for a random 1-5% increase. If the tax increases, you're set back to 0, no matter how much you actually...

Hi, Dale. I'm looking forward to this new option you're adding. In the meantime, could anyone fill us in on the mechanic for the cost of materials for hurrying buildings?

Actually there's no reason to kiss his ring at all. The penalty for refusing cash requests is negligible. You should just refuse all cash requests, but accept all tax raises. Add it to the list of broken mechanics, which includes: - REF increase - warehouse sales - Price change - Tax increase...

If you don't want tax, you can still trade massive amounts at a time on big intervals. That's one exploit nobody is in any hurry...

AFAIK, you cant sell blockaded goods. They go to waste.

Prices are more sensitive. You get bad outcomes from ruins often (especially with no scout). Tribes are aggressive. Not much gold from pillage, either.
