alliance tax

[yovanna]

We'll think about a solution... at least a revaluation of the prices would be helpful.

can i make a suggestion to stop cheating. while you are looking at it.

alliance leder sets tax rate. its taken in all resources and converted to gold however you decide is best.

all researches are in gold.

no ability to donate one of payments to stop donator accounts.

this would be nice change from donaor accounts making realms a mess.

and would save admins hastle.

[yovanna]

They won't be any unbalanced donations, we thought about preventions.

[fragmaster]

ip-match attack restriction system is ideal for applying on donations too. 

[yovanna]

We're thinking more about a certain percentage of the Gold equivalent net worth of the player.

[redborg]

good idea frag.

i just hate when people grow real fast and the never put a penny in for aliance research.

sure maybe they take researches but by then they have grown and can afford to put in.

it happens so often in every realm.

We're thinking more about a certain percentage of the Gold equivalent net worth of the player.

makes everything linear ,better cancel alliance researches than making something thats just proportional to size.Donating should be critical,but with protection from cheating.Heres why : if someone wants smaller alliance,and a bit more wars,they need to sacrifice gold to do it.but if his evil neighbor wants to farm and exploit others ,thats ok too .but if someone quits ,and sells army and gives 10m which is more than entire player dontation log,that spoils balance.

Im just saying,donation system ,and 4x factor for more expensive research level is good.just get rid of cheating.Even increasing factor to 5x would be great,encouraging ppl to be in alliance with ppl they really like,not because treasury ,when they realise that huge research levels are just not worth it.

Exactly..if someone disbands his army he will dramatically drop in points, at which point his quota will drop dramatically as well making it impossible to donate. For example - my account is worth 10 000 000 gold(that is 10 000 points) and I am allowed to donate not more than 20% of my points(that will be 2 000 000 gold equivalent), if I have already donated lets say 500 000 I will have 1 500 000 remaining quota. Now..if at this moment I disband my army and drop to 5 000 points my quota will at the same time drop to 1 000 000 gold equivalent(20% of my networth), but..I have already donated 500 000 in the past which will leave me with only 500 000 more to donate and I won't be able to put all of the gold(resources). That's pretty much the only viable solution. We can't disallow donations from same IPs. While attacks from same IPs are not normal(friends don't really want to attack each other) allies from the same office will definitely donate from the same IP.

this will help  for sure thanks krum.

[fragmaster]

i like it 

[redborg]

fregs happy you know its good

[mariuscl77]

I am allowed to donate not more than 20% of my points

Per day? At 24 hours?

i see you guys did a re-evaluation on prices any news or thoughts on possible change to way tax is taken? i.e. %gross prduction added to treasury via 10-2-5-5  ratio  instead of individual resource production amounts

[yovanna]

No, up to now only prices are changed.

[crass]

i think the easiest way to change would be  for  the alliance researches to all be bought with gold. leave the resource percentage deductions the same but then convert all the resource taxes to gold via the 10-2-5-5 ratio and that adds to treasury. and leave the donations panel so that donations can still be made from all resources once donated they convert to gold in treasury also. in this senario u still get to spread out the tax evenly  but u also eliminate the need for leaders to dictate what resources thier members need to  produce in order for the alliance to gain its needed resources
