What tax rate is the best?
The best tax rate when you’re not online and playing the game is 50%. Putting tax rate at 50% the population will be stable at 50% of maximum, and they will each pay 50% tax. The stable population number is your loyalty times your max population, and loyalty will be stable at 100% minus your tax rate. This is why it’s so dangerou to put tax rate at 100% and leave your computer for a long time, cause then both your loyalty and population will go down to 0, you will have riots and loose lots of resources.
When you’re planning to stay online for a few hours, first set the tax rate to 0% so that your population goes up. You can use population increase or disaster relief to speed this up. When loyalty and population is at 100% you set your tax rate to 100%. This will earn you a massive income, all you have to do to keep your population from going down is to use disaster relief every 15-20 minutes. If you run out of food, just buy it at the market, food is cheap compared to all the fold you make using the method. This trick will keep loyalty at 100 even with 100% tax rate. Before you log off make sure you change tax rate back to 50%.

At 100% tax your pop will tick down as loyalty drops, but never back up again, you can farm more gold at 99% tax, because your pop will return as you boost your loyalty. More pop to tax equals more cash. I never use 100% tax.

Just a tip to anyone trying this… MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE TAX RATE BACK DOWN BEFORE LEAVING GAME!!!
I know it says this in the post but I made the mistake of forgetting and after about 12 hrs away from the game came back to my fairly successfull city which had been decimated by riots – population 0 – no production – I’m in the VERY slow process of rebuilding now from nothing.

I left my taxation too high for too long yesterday. Thank god for facebook. I was able to help increase production and get some reserve bonus packs. It paid for a quick praying and disaster relief and saved my tail…

Hi I have a quick question. How do you calculate inflation rate between 2 quarters when you are given nominal and real output?

Hey, I was wondering, would you prefer your site to be typed out with the www or not? I would like to link back to your website, but I don’t know whether www is required.

Yeah, if I were Samedi, I would totally just quit playing the game altogether, that sucks beyond belief. I make most of my money by selling resources. The fact is, your continuous supply of gold is really only necessary to maintain the relatively modest salaries of your heroes, beyond that, you can make more than enough gold by simply letting your city’s resources max out, selling them off, then letting them build back up again and repeating the process about once a day. You’ll make a lot more money than you would from a 100% tax rate and you don’t have to worry about pissing off your citizens. This allows you to maintain a high surplus population, which is useful when you’re trying to raise an army, since recruits come directly out of your idle population levels.
In summation, I actually believe this is not a very good guide, as it advises players to do something that provides a relatively small benefit (one that can actually be easily surpassed by a much safer course of action), and runs a disproportionately high risk of alienating your city’s population. It’s one of the most dangerous things you can do to yourself and is utterly unnecessary.

When I recently discovered your internet site and started following along, I was thinking I’d post my very first comment. I don’t know just what to say except that I really liked reading through. Good writings. I am going to keep on browsing this site more regularly.

i agree with surfer147 i play on na18 age2 and i have 2 cities that produce about 10mil food daily. All u need to do is ahve your tax rate at 20-25% which shud give you enough gold to pay your heroes. If you sell 10mil food u can get anywhere from 25-50mil gold from the food which allows you to buy approx. 5mil iron at a price of 9.3.
