You're the Mayor! Taxes

Ok you managed to fight your way, or pay off the residents or simply charm them with your personality. Now what would you do?
How much tax would you institute?

and what buildings would you build right away?

How much tax does everyone feel is acceptable, knowing that it will cost to make your cities buildings , along with many other functions? is 20% to much?

Would love to hear everyone's input and what would your threshold be for looking for a new node due to high taxes.

Thanks for reading

Is it just a simple residence tax or can we tax trade goods? Also possible import export tax? If guilds can create personal halls tax that separately? I'm not going for mayor but a bunch of barely noticeable taxes sound like a good way to keep citizens happy and still have the income to develop the node

10% and if I take a small break or unable to play for a few days I'm going to do a no taxation without representation event and make it 0%. 12% just after a siege to cover the repair costs and 5% for holiday events....I thought this throw a lot.

I like your idea

25% tax for a few days, then bring it down to 12% for the remainder.

I'll run two accounts. Both will run for mayor. Both will accuse the other of planning to raise taxes too high, claiming the other is simply projecting.

Whoever wins will set taxes to 100%. I know, probably not possible, but to the max. And generally be an asshole, but still someone who focuses on building the town.

Meanwhile, the other account will seem like a genius for predicting this, and run a campaign against the Mayor-account. The other account will win next election and become a much more popular Mayor than he would otherwise have become. Someone to Trust! Nerror for Mayor 2023!

The only certainties in this world are death and taxes. Nagash takes care of both simultaneously.

I hope there are more choices of buildings to place than available places in a given town. In a sense like a rock, paper & scissors scenario such that there may be no meta for the best combination and thereby, to ensure a good tax return, the mayor must choose very strategically the type and placement of the various building choices and be prepared to rebalance the available functions to maintain a good return on taxes and not impact the place`s popularity.
