The key problem encountered by the player arises from the intricate nature of the tax system within Manor Lords, which can be confusing for newcomers. In their post, they query about their Treasury: “What’s going on with my Treasury? I have taxes set at 6%, 4 level 3 households, the rest are level 2, but I’m getting 16 gold each month?” This situation illustrates a common misconception among beginners regarding the taxation process.
To clarify, user OkAmphibian8942 points out that taxes aren’t just calculated based on the number of households, but rather, they represent a percentage of the regional wealth in that specific region. Thus, in the player’s scenario, they are receiving 6% of a total regional wealth of 256 gold, which equates to 16 gold per month.
To achieve optimal income and success, players should comprehend this system and focus on developing their regional wealth as a cornerstone for effective taxation.
