Ferret

[Shores of Tripoli]

For ferret or Painted One?

That strategy won't work well for forager - most of your food gains come from taxing workers. You want 42% tax with lots of foragers to make the most food.

In addition, there is never any reason to be below 20% tax except to heal.

 I'm confused shadow, are you talking about the ferret still?

[Shadow]

any race

[Shores of Tripoli]

 I see.

low tax gets a better percentage of workers and a bigger capacity if you were to run 10000 turns on x land they'd fill with the largest amount at 5%
Ferret fails if it converts workers and needs high tax. There's no set structures to work it under shadows coding except raise and drop tax depending on worker ratio
Maybe it changed so 43% tax makes a good rate of food without losing workers. This would mean 20% huts, 30% tents and 50% forages. Tax would be better at 25ish on full workers

[Shadow]

No. 20% tax and 5% tax hold the exact same amount of workers (I coded it like that on purpose).

[Sevz]

cool, what are the brackets then? does 70% tax work?

[Shadow]

There are no brackets, it is continuous. 70% gives you a short burst of income but it won't last.

[Durza]

That's because your tax is too high and workers start to leave, yes?

[Shadow]

indeed

[Ian2424]

It would be cool if there was a round where you even if you had really high tax, workers still come, instead of leaving. Lol

[Shores of Tripoli]

 That would be to easy

[Ian2424]

I know. It was supposed to be a really stupid round. See the "Lol"?

[Shores of Tripoli]

 Yea, I know. lol
