Popularity: Above being said, you can raise tax levels higher (without losing villagers) if you have more popularity! Ways to improve popularity are: As said before, I prefer to stay low rank, so you dont need any honor! max out tax level up to the point were you are still in green popularity so you don’t lose villagers but get the most tax. Higher tax rank results in lower honor income.

Raise your tax level, and get more cash per villager in each village. But, how do I optimize this? What factors should i concider? You can passively earn money trough taxes in your village. Passive in come = making money non-stop without actually doing something. This will make you a lot less attractive target for princes etc. If you stick to your low rank, other players will have to spent huge ammounts of honor when they attack you. 1: Super cheap tax per village! if you don’t advance in rank, but build up your village to very big population and popularity, you can get monster tax income, and only pay a fraction to the parish! you’ll get rich just by collecting tax without doing a thing!.This means poorly maintained villages can be easely and cheaply taken by other players wanting to expand.įor smart players, that remain at a lower rank, even tho they got plenty of honor to advance, these opposite effects can be used to be very succesfull in Strongholds! if a high rank player attacks a small one, he’ll have to pay a very high honor penalty! A small player attacking higher rank players have a very low honor penalty. This results in either less income per village, or less honor per village. 1: Very high taxes! The higher your player rank is, the more parish tax you’ll be paying! you’ll need alot more villagers to cover this cost, or raise your own tax level to counter it.The main downsides for having a high rank are: So ask yourself what your goal is in the game before you startadvance! You don’t need to have the highest rank to be succesful in this game, or to help fellow clan members, or even to fight AI. In this guide i will explain how you can make money in strongholds įirst off, i would advice not to level up more unless you really want to have alot of villages, and wage war… control alot of land.
