Welcome to the first of multiple preview posts dedicated to our upcoming 1.9 content update. Today, we would like to focus on the new taxation system that will be added to the game.
We are indeed reworking the way your villagers will generate revenue. Your market won’t directly generate revenue anymore when villagers purchase food or goods. Instead, you will be able to tax villagers. Preserving their happiness will be the key to efficiently tax them, so providing them with what they need from the market will keep playing a central role for revenue.
Be careful though as each building will have a maximum amount of taxes it can accumulate. You will need enough tax collectors to get your hands on all of this precious money!
Lastly, you will have control of the taxation rate of your villagers. Know that if you ever feel too greedy, the happiness of your villagers will be negatively affected!
