Possibly. I guess the big thing will be to see if anyone steps in to help fill the leadership void once Vellos goes.True. It'll be interesting to see if Triunism can stay alive.The Maroccidens in general is rather... religiously boring.
Speaking of which, religions being taxed again will really hurt. While I like that as a lord I can tax any temples I don't adhere to to make their life more complicated, imo it should be counterbalanced with the religion's ability to ask for an automatic tax share of the region.Religions were already ridiculous money pits as it was... And it's now getting worse.
You won't get to choose how much you tax each temple, will you?
And most Lords who are part of a religion do not even want to tax their 'own' temples.
Temples will be taxed at halfrate. You can create always attempt to create a Tax Haven (Region that taxes at 2%) that will allow you to save a lot of that gold, especially if you have enough influence to capture the Duke Share as well.
Indeed, because it is usually their responsibility to make sure the local coffers are filled. This just means they have to travel back to their region that much more often, because that tax is deducted from the treasury no matter how far away from the temple you are or how infrequently you visit your own region.
I guess the easiest way is to make sure the gold is returned to the temple, than you do not have to lower the taxes of your region (for large amounts of course).
You can use the Global Treasury for that easily.
You do realize that maintenance paid out of the global treasury is more expensive, right?
By what factor again? 2x? I think it's 4x, right? Manageable for small religions, but large multi-realm religions like SA or VE, not so much...
The factor is 1,5 if I am right
