Yea...I adjusted it to 1% to reduce the amount of snowballing and trying to get other mods that adjust Ai behavior to...spend money LOL.

Even 1% ends up with alot of gold for top lieges, but nothing over 10k in 50 years so far.

I think the problem with AI is because they use a figure called short term gold and long term gold, which is completely based on income to handle to decisions, rather than stockpiled gold. The game can't account for events or mods like this handing them stacks of gold. Most likely this probably only results in the hiring of mercs during war time rather than anything beneficial for the AI kingdoms.
I'd need to rewrite this mod to give them income per month, rather than actual gold - then they could use it for decision making.
But, I'm not playing right now - sorry.

@Senjinkira Kind of, unfortunately the AI isn't that smart, so even with piles of gold they don't really.. DO anything useful with it. Ideally they'd build on all available holdings, build and then improve buildings, create titles, create and maintain HUGE armies etc.
Pretty much none of that happens, even with a hundred thousand gold rulers rarely even have a single MAA maxed out.

But yes, it's a little high and stacks exponentially for the larger realms. More noticable in games where there's only a handful of top lieges, like in AGOT.
Normal vanilla games would be pretty mild as they aren't all feeding into one top liege.

Feel free to edit it if you want, or look in my workshop files, there's a mod to destroy all gold in the game. If you need to reset.

I played a game for like 30 years and i had all the major rulers with 200k+ gold

I like the mod, but uh...there needs to be some way to balance that.

Unless that's the intended feature.

@BIGDICKOSKAR#420 yep, it's a net gain for everybody involved including the lowest unemployed guest child etc

is this 15% on top of regluar contracts for your vassals? Seems crazy..

@eridano2013 well we give them 12 gold per year for free and the tax is only 15% of their total, so every peasant including children would be coming out ahead.

I like this Mod, but it seems too harsh; I would suggest making the tax payable starting at age fourteen.

Unfortunately I have not found any examples prior to 1377 except a Roman law that taxed men from the age of 14, and women from 12 to 65.
