Check Taxes (new system)
« Topic Start: January 24, 2012, 05:19:42 PM »
With the new estate system, the "Check Taxes" button disappeared. The revenue estimation is now at a different place, so it's fine, but I checked it most often to see "Taxes are set to be collected in x days", which is more user-friendly than searching through old messages to find out when was the last tax day.

Could this information be put back somewhere in the new system?
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Where it was before would be nice? In the information menu, next to "Military advisor".

If it makes more sense to you to put it elsewhere, that would also be ok.

Thanks.

what? a page with just one line of text on it? That wouldn't make sense, would it?

Couldn't it just have information about your estimated gold income as well like it did before?

that never worked accurately.

similarly... the current tax screen (in "your estates") doesn't really take into account the maintenance/food transaction bits. but that can do as the estimates screen.

if it's just a line about when tax day is (no estimates).. just stuff it in play-status.php (under the You are current in X region)

how about putting it under the important information line (under Command - where you get details about the current weather.)?

Put it on the estate page where it give you info about your estate. It deals with all that tax and oath information already. It's a little out of the way, though. Maybe the Realm and Regions page. Or why not the base Player Status page: "Gold: 55, Bonds: 12, Next tax: 3 days"
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

command page, the "important info" part seems to be a natural place. I'll put it there.

...except not everyone gets the Command page anymore, since the Estate stuff has all been moved (properly, in my view) to the Politics page.

Put it in politics with the rest of the estate stuff?

But, once again, regular knights no longer get the Command menu, so something else should really be done for them!
