Why would hiking taxes make your knights angry? I can't imagine they would care.
Oh never-mind I was thinking "Lord's Share".
Also, i can think of a few ways break your guild financial system, without breaking any rules.
That's ok real financial institutions can be broken as well. As long as the abuses can be policed enough to let the bank grown I'm fine with it. I'm not doing this to create a secure stable institution for safe investments. I'm doing it to create an unstable, corruptible institution for risky investments that create chaos and drive conflict.
Also, swearing to a maximum tax rate? Yeah, that's a bit overreaching.
Why? Real banks and corporations do it all the time. Comcast for example gets to operate in Philadelphia nearly free of city taxes. The rational is if the city taxes them they'll move somewhere else and take the jobs with them.
I was thinking no more then 15% tax rates almost no one operates more then that anyway. Or maybe no more then a 3% increase in the rate you had upon joining.
