Taxes, Support, and Riots

Your tax rate sets how much gold you collect from your people, and it shapes their mood.

Popular Support drifts each turn toward a target set by your tax rate. A steady, moderate tax rate keeps Support near its highest. High taxes push Support down. Low Support badly cuts your Coastal (tourism) income.

Riots grow more likely as your tax rate climbs past a safe level. A riot crashes your Support and drives off part of your population. Raise taxes with care.
