I want to try to have the merchant end.

I have 100-106k max and i dont find how to get more.
I give at my rat 300 if they are bellow 450. And i tax 30% wealth if they have more than 550 and 5% if more than 1500.


In parallel, i modified price of wheat to 18, meat 28, circus 18 and arena 18 for try to upgrade poor job.
But now i dont progress anymore. Any suggestions/ tips ?

Thanks

Change tax laws. You need to give them 300 if they are below 600 and don't tax them at all if they have 550. Tax them 50% if they have above 1000 (500 pia is limit for rat to be considered middle class). Next level is to tax them 50% if they have above 6000. But you'll need to have number of rats times 3000 times 1.2 money to have them all be gold leaf nobles.

I tried your method but my wealth goes between 78k and 92k max and rat's wealth dont go more than 1300. i Have more in middle class but the situation stagnate.
How can they up at 3000 ?

Alright. So, there is just one tax, take half of their wealth if they have over 6000 pia. And there is one subvention, give them 1500 if they have less than 3000 pia. No other taxes, no other subventions. You also need to produce bread, candles, honey, cheese, beer (have a bar and dance hall, allow them to use those), silk clothes and some other things so they can satisfy their necessities. They need to have at least 20 to go silver, 48 to go to gold.

If your going for the merchant goal, I think your main task is to increase the total pia of your kingdom instead of just taxing your ratizens more. The current pia they have and any you tax from them is just circulating so you have to gain more from outside the kingdom through trading products or minting gold or copper bars.

You can also buy alot of foreign currency at a low price and exchange it for a high price later. This method is pretty random though with only one event increasing the chance of the exchange rate to go one direction.

Indeed, i trade a lot but i win 5k when i change green coin versus pia. So, I was wondering if there was a tax that would allow you to make a profit ?

If the total pia in your kingdom is actually high then I guess taxing more does seem to be the solution. I haven't noticed any more benefits for high wealth ratizens besides getting to high class, and the happiness penalty for high tax dosen't seem to go past -10. At some point I just added an extra tax for ratizens with very high wealth and my savings started increasing.

If you have 310k in your economy, then you may witdraw 300k from your rats. Otherwise you should emit more pia. 100% tax, 100 allowance and free food with services work fine. Just don't raise tax to 100% in one day or 99% ratizens revolt instatntly.
