Tie taxes to Cities

[Timmetie]

With the current worth/ jewel worth thing going on, i presume the goal is to be able to live of the taxes of your cities.
at the moment this sucks. collecting interest is way easyer.
There are 3 passive means of getting money, interest, taxes and mines.
as everyone can have mines they dont count here.

Interest is easy, you just get money, bank it, get more money, no troops needed, no risk, no way of stopping you.

Taxes however are a challenge, to constantly decide if you want to post more troops in the city, which will decrease your profit, but make more sure you keep it. And there is the constant danger of losing the city.

also lets presume that someone with Taxes (cities) will be less succesfull at getting interest, throught the fact that he will need troops and stuff.

So i think taxes should be tied to cities.

1% with no cities. 2% with 1, 3% with 2 and the full 3.5% at 3.

And yes, this is the immortals thingy again.

ah yes, and about the this is punishing the noobs question.

This is the 2nd day after reset, there are no noobs, its all uqual now.
and secondly, a noob should gather money and take a city, its what the game is about. And he doesnt need to sit on interest to do it, 300 geo's is enough to take a city, but wont get you any reasonable interest.

Its GEwar, not GE-retirementhome.
