Rebellion to riches?

December 23, 2006 2:11:59 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I played a good amount of Gal Civ, and just got Gal Civ II today.

Started a tiny galaxy just to get the hang of it. Anyways I'm close to broke so I pump my tax rate up to 100% for the heck of it. A planet rebels, but my treasury went from about -400 to +10000.

So, how did a civil war make me rich?

At risk of stating the obvious? Because you put your tax rate up to 100%. Maybe the planet that rebelled was also costing you a lot of bc to maintain (lots of factories/labs) as well.

Yup, take all of anyone's income and you will be richer.

They may also be very upset.

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version (1.4x). It includes a lot of bug fixes and enhancements to the game.

It is not pursuant to a bug fix; just the nature of the game.

Anything over 80% taxes will drive the morale down to the point of rebellion - no matter the version, or the improvements/enhancements.

It was not a wise thing to do - raising taxes to that extent.

Ok I'll be a bit more clear.

Turn 1: I'm poor, -490ish treasury. I raise taxes to 100% as a test.
Turn 2: 1 outlying planet rebels, I have a treasury of 10000+

It wasn't the 100% tax rate, this was a tiny galaxy and I had only 2 developed planets and a few crapy colonies, so it wasn't the taxes. Yes its version 1.4.

@ 100% tax your moral is only 1. Actually is happens @ 81% I beleive. Thats why your colony rebeled.

Treasury probably jumped because you were a bit more than 490ish in the hole. Anything over -500 bc shuts down all production. All the money that would have went into production becomes income.

If your treasury was negative by too much your spending for turn 2 would have dropped to zero.
So you accumulated all the money that you would normally have spent on production, as well as more from the increased tax rate.

Yea I know how that works.

I was trying to point out my economy would NEVER bring in that much cash in just one turn. If it could I wouldn't have been in the hole to start with. I'll just chock this one up to 'wierd bug/feature'.

What difficulty were you playing on?

I believe I read somewhere that some odd things happen with debt when you're at the easier levels of difficulty.

Well, think of it this way. How much money would the US have if it took every single persons paycheck, even for a week? That would be a pretty large chunk of change. That is the gist of what you did. Now multiply that a couple times and you get the right number of people.
