Default Re: Some basic notes on expansion

It's very common to overtax the capital on turn one. After that, no, it's not exactly very "common". But it all depends on a bunch of different factors that are different for each nation. Basically, sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. But in general gold early is more valuable than gold later on is. Because it boosts you to a stronger economy faster. Usually when someone is using a heavy overtax strategy they overtax at a lower level... say 130%, in provinces with a higher income and pop and you don't really lose population from it.
