seth4chaos Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 My nation is now 24 day's old, is it worth to wait 6 days with collecting taxes and get it on the 30th day (birthday celebration) because of the +happiness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnNL Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Yes it's worth waiting for. Instead of collecting 1 day with improved happiness now you can collect 7 days taxes with the improved happiness rating. I also recommend you join an alliance with more then 2 nations before someone attacks your nation just for the lulz.

Saborn Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 At your size it's not worth waiting since any gain you'd received will be minimal due to your very small population compared to the gains from purchasing infrastructure.

seth4chaos Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well...that didn't help. One says I should do and one says is shouldn't do it, both with reasonable arguments. Has somebody a calculation that helps me further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp110 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well...that didn't help. One says I should do and one says is shouldn't do it, both with reasonable arguments. Has somebody a calculation that helps me further. Well, it's kind of complicated. Let's see if I can figure this one out. If I recall, the 30 day birthday is a +3 Happiness bonus? Pretty sure. As a general rule, 1 happiness=$2 in income, so at 28% of $6, you'll be getting $1.70 per citizen tax collection bonus. You have 1,000 citizens (multiply by 7). My math says you'll make an additional $11,500 in income by waiting. If you don't have enough cash to pay your bills, you'll be charged half that in negative interest. You're probably better off buying infra and increasing your income. I could be WAY off here, this is all going off my memory, which is not good. Unsolicited advice, don't collect your taxes until you fill your trade slots. You need fish, wheat, and cattle, which would give you a large population boost. Finding trades might be difficult with your resources, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US of Europe Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 It indeed depends, though it is hard to calculate for me, as I know little about your nation and I can only guess. Question is if you would grow harder if you wait a couple of days, and then buy everything, or if you just continue on buying infrastructure. Use your infrastructure purchase cost to determine how much levels of infrastructure you can buy daily, and then calculate what your increased income will be for the next day, until you experience the happiness bonus. 1 level of infrastructure is worth 7.5 citizens for you, or higher. So see how many citizens you can get and what your increased income will be, and compare it with the $11,500 increased income which philip calculated for you. Personally, I would be collecting my taxes for the following days and don't collect taxes the day before your nation's birthday. Though this is more a feeling.
