Turkey Tax

[Magnus the red]

When I was King of Turkey I set a ships Tax I looked at it a few minutes ago and it's no longer there but no one else has become king

Laws reset after some time with no king-or at least ship tax laws do. it's to keep someone from setting a nations tax laws to max and leaving it just to keep others out indefinitely. Otherwise someone could, if they wanted to be mean, join a nation, become king, then max out ship tax, then rinse and repeat.

What about Montenegro and Italy the kings are inactive

[Meliva]

I believe in those cases since there's still a king/queen the law won't reset, or perhaps enough time hasn't passed for the reset to happen. I don't remember how long it takes, I want to say 3 months but again, not sure. I do think it's at least 1 month.

The kind of Italy is inactive since a long time. The taxes for military and noble class ships are set to 250.000 gold per ship. Therefore i am forced to change the nationality. Could the admins please reset the king of Italy?

[Meliva]

I mean you don't have to change nationality. Peasant tax is 100 gold so if you don't rank up you can stay there. And if you plan carefully and prepare you can rank up to the council level in under a day-and only pay that 250K tax once-which you can refund to yourself by stipends/payouts.

Though I do think that if a nation has an inactive king/queen that after a period of time any laws should be reset.

Accts are not resetable in this game : they can be blocked for rule violations (very rare) but deletion only occurs to accounts meeting strict criteria after a very long period of inactivity.

About the only way to resolve this kind of problem is for a new king to take the throne or for a duke to propose a law change to the ship tax.

I agree its not a helpful answer but thats how this game works.

Thanks for the replies. So at the moment i pay the peasant tax. I don't understand, at which point i have to pay the military or the noble tax. Does this depend on ships i own? Or on the ranks? On which exactly?

[Meliva]

You will never go up in the ranks unless you actually try to do so. So you will always be a peasant unless you willingly decide to rank up, so you never have to worry about accidentally ranking up.

The military ranks are captain to Admiral, noble is baron to marquess. Duke to King is council. Citizen is peasant.

Honestly you may want to leave Italy and rank up in another more active nation. How you rank up is by going to the court, meeting the governor and taking a mission to rank up. Each ranking mission get's harder until you reach marquess. The first time going through the ranks is usually the hardest and the longest. Can take weeks. But once you've really mastered it you can do it in hours with a bit of prep.
