Alliance tax

[alwaysnumb]

How about this to slow top allies down.

Based on the ratio of (your alliance acres)/(total acres).
eg my alliance has 100k land the game has 500k acres across all active players so if my allie has a auto (say 10%) tax based on this with the funds getting thrown away into cyber heaven.

ok couple points

1) define active.

2) even in an friendly alliance setting, there is almost always an uprising about having the tax set. people don't plant, they whine and moan, and they don't donate anyway. and this is for money going FOR something like searchlights...



so no a 'tax' probably will not gain any traction... however, if this was utilized in something like the exponential seed calc... and therefore making the 'tax' unnoticeable... the arguing would largely be anecdotal for 1 round by a few people. As it would remain invisible, it would be ignored and not realize it's happening.

If you get shunted by tax for being high ranked, then why try to win?

It's not a case of stopping the players winning a round, it's the case of keeping the games liquidity high *after* this has happened.

active as in logged in the last week

tax money goes nowhere it is lost. Keeps the top guys on their toes, gives smaller allies chance to catch up and make it more fun for everyone.

Again, would be better to suggest a tweak for the exponential seed calc to curb top enders.

Secondly, this really doesn't address those who get on top then sit on their funds and acres laying low waiting for someone to struggle into their range.
