Increasing population and earning gold
Having a high population early on in the game is pretty important as that will give you a high tax income. Early on most resources are really cheap in terms of gold, so having a high gold income is much more important than having a high resources production. Early on a new server you can often buy wood for as low as 0.1 gold a piece and food sometimes as low as 0.02 for each.
Anyways, to be able to get this good tax income you need to have as high population as possible. The trick is to first turn tax rate down to 0% to get your population to grow quickly. It’s right that you don’t earn any gold with tax rate set to 0%, but you will get maximum population fairly quickly. Also use comfort relief to speed up your population growth by increasing loyalty. To reach max population you need to have loyaly at 100%.
When you population reaches maximum you set tax rate to 100% and use comfort relief every 15 minutes to keep loyalty at 100%. When you have to log off for a long period of time set tax rate to 50%. This is the best way to earn gold in Evony early on. To increase your maximum population you have to keep building new cottages and upgrading them to a higher level.
