TheDave Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Drop to 10% Collect at 28& It makes no difference. The only thing that matters (assuming you are building rather than role-playing) is the total collection. Happiness is just a small feature. The toal income is where its at. Collect on whatever gives you the most. Swap to 10% if you are worried about happiness levels, but honestly, it really doesn't matter what it is when not collecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbiased mod Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 collecting at 28% and changing to 10% just makes more work, hapiness will alter instantly anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent it to HydroJohn already! By the way(Mod) it isn't to much work, because it means more taxes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudluv2 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 you collect the same amount at 28% regardless if you drop to 10% or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cathal Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 you collect the same amount at 28% regardless if you drop to 10% or not No you don't! If you keep it at 28% the whole time your happiness will stay down and will eventually slowly decline, day by day! So you should do it mine and TheDave's way! You get more taxes!

Millionario Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 No you don't! If you keep it at 28% the whole time your happiness will stay down and will eventually slowly decline, day by day! So you should do it mine and TheDave's way! You get more taxes! No, it stays the same. As has been stated before it's just more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cathal Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 No, it stays the same. As has been stated before it's just more work. Alright! I didnt know it stayed the same! But the advantage is your citizens are happier, and that is a reward for going to the trouble of actually changing it every day, 2 days, 3 days, or whenever you collect your taxes!

Drai Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) Dudluv is right, what difference does the extra happiness make if you're not collecting on that extra level of happiness. Ask almost anybody in the game and they will tell you the exact same thing, switching to 10% won't change anything. Yes, your happiness will go up, by 7 or whatever it is, but then when you switch it back to 28% to collect taxes your happiness drops by 7 immediately and you collect the same amount of taxes you would have collected had it been at 28% the whole time. Having a higher happiness level in between the tax collections does nothing for your nation as happiness has one purpose and that's to determine how much money you will collect from your citizens during tax collection. Seriously, like he said, "you just don't get it" Edited December 18, 2007 by Drai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully my above post will help explain the reasoning as to why your method (an many new nations' method) doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Don't feel ashamed alot of nations do this when they first start out. I know I did. You can trust us it makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, like he said, "you just don't get it" Correct. I always knew that scheme never made sense, and i never tried it. All it will do is give you happiness for a day, and then it will go down after you change it. CN isnt a dumbass, the game knows what your trying to do. The happiness will decline after you change it back To be honest, its pointless. Edited December 22, 2007 by Jack Grist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
