I'm not that kind of emperor. My position helps all the new players. They ask for something and I send it. I get to teach lots of tricks

QuoteHaving official emps wasn't really standard until a few months ago. We just had emp themes before that, and I think we had the tax feature in two or three or those themes.

Hmm. Maybe i'm thinking of another promi then, but i'm fairly certain it was RWL.

If there was a tax, it should be for a certain group networthwise and a certain number (possibly what you tax your workers).

You should be able to tax different networths different amounts.

Wouldn't that be kind of complicated? How would that work?

Sorta like the worker tax I guess. Instead, you would also input data on the warlord networth range to tax  ie. 100 mil to 500 mil. This could help increase the strength and reign of the emporer, but would anger rebels. Maybe if we do that, a robot account could be made to aid resistance leaders (I know it's a stupid idea, but I'm just typing what I think).

THe problem is subjectivity. Code is objective, so it cannot usually identify  "resistance" player without human input. That's not to say that you couldn't write a particularly clever algorithm to do so, but I really don't think that that would be a good or even productive use of time.

Why does it need to care about resistance players? If I don't like the goverrnment, I still pay my taxes.
