Hi, shazam,

Each player has limited trade balance which determines how much gold can be sent and received. Each gold transfer is taxed. The closer to their limit a player is, the more gold will be lost during transferring. ex. If you received 90K gold, the 10K gold you are about to receive will be taxed more than if you were about to receive 10K and hadn't used any of the receiving limit so far. The tax also increases when the same ally sends you gold multiple times.

Thanks for the answer, don't think that's rite tho

THe transfer of gold between the players should be based on a technology, the higher the level the more you can send and the lower the tax.

something to think about, 

thanks
