Tax Collection

[JasonT]

Anybody know how to assign somebody to the tax office? i'm at a loss. Thanks :)

After you have finished the tax office at the lord manor (and do not forget that you have to choose it from the list before placing the building to tell the game that the next placed buildingpart is supposed to have the function tax office) there should be an open job at the overview page of the lord manor. From there it is the same as with every other job, just click on + to add a free villager.

I tried that, but it won't let me star building the tax office, because i have 0/1 workers, who could operate, even though I manually asigned a tax collector...

You don't have 0/1 workers, the office you want to build has room for 0 workers while you need room for 1. It's just not big enough.
You have to make the building part taller or add more parts to the tax office sub building.

No, I have several one or two room tax offices, I spread my collectors out for better collection coverage. You just have make sure the room you place is big enough.

I meant: a building with 5 rooms (size 5)

My tax collectors always can't find their way to the tax offices. I have two tax offices, the first attached to the Great Hall with room for one tax collector. The second office is attached to the Treasury and has room for 3 tax collectors. All four are constantly lost, I guess, and I don't know if any taxes are being collected or not. I have cleared out the houses near the tax office entrances & made the spaces restricted zones. I have made sure that the entrance doors are clear, and have placed the arrows so they point directly at the doors. What am I missing here?

In the top of the screen (main game window) there is your current balance. if you right click on it, all the building should get a XX/XX gold above them. like a home 9/40Gold. Meaning it has 9 gold waiting for collection out of the max 40 it can hold.

You can do the same with resources like berries and wood.

Tax collector offices do not need doors at all. You can build the simplest of buildings with no door and tax collectors will work just fine.

I found that the best way to deal with taxes is to build 1 tax office per residential hex (or a hex with taxable buildings, e.g. mines, windmills, and taverns). They do not need to be attached to the manor.

Thanks a bunch! That helps.

Thanks. I just built two simple little tax collector buildings, but I put doors on them; guess I can remove the doors if it saves a penny or two in tax?

I would not worry about it too much. Once you have enough tax collectors you will start worrying about spending your money and building more treasure halls rather than saving on pennies.

Doors could be useful if you are looking for a way to increase splendour, though. But you would need some more advanced doors for that (look at the top of the information pop-up window to see how many splendour points each component adds).
