	~~For this reason, the best~~ tax rate ~~in general is somewhere in the middle~~, ~~closer~~ to ~~the default of 35%. This will ensure that you have a strong base of peasants~~ to ~~tax, and that they are being taxed effectively~~.		==== Adjusting Tax Rates ====
			While some players opt to stay at at static 35% tax rate, you may also want to add some extra depth to your play.

	===== '''~~Other Tax Rate Considerations~~''' =====		One option to do so is by changing your tax rates depending on where you are at in a run.

			For example, let's assume you were attacked and lost some land after your previous run. You have not yet used any turns, so your population count has not dropped. In this case, you may want to consider setting your tax rate very low, so that your population floor is not as drastic. This will also serve to help rebuild your population faster.

			Always change your taxes from the '<nowiki/>'''Cash'''<nowiki/>' tab rather than the ''''Empire Management'''<nowiki/>' tab in order to avoid a potential bug.

			When changing your taxrate, <u>you will not be able to change it again depending on the amount that it was changed.</u>

			For example, if you are at a 7% tax rate and then change it to 70%, you will not be able to adjust your tax rate again for 63 turns. This only applies to tax changes made on the Cash tab.

			An advantage of doing this is that you are able to ''frontload'' your population gains. '''Why would this matter?'''

			Because once you are at a higher population level, you can then adjust your taxrate once more, this time to a higher rate. Tax rates range from 5- 70%, and in promisance it is often best to go with the extreme levels. Setting your tax rate as high as 70% once you have a large population built up means that you can then tax those peasants at the most efficient level.

			This is especially effective if you expect to hold the land that you gain during your run, as more turns can be spent at the 70% ratio.

			Just be sure to set it back to a lower amount after you lose land, or else you risk losing a majority of your population very quickly, and become vulnerable to massacre kills.

			===== '''Massacre''' =====
	The introduction of '''Massacre''<nowiki/>' attacks makes tax-rate once more a topic of interest, this time not only for casher strategies.		The introduction of '''Massacre''<nowiki/>' attacks makes tax-rate once more a topic of interest, this time not only for casher strategies.

	Wizards are another tough call. As a solo casher, you may need wizards to be able to spy other empires before you attack. As a clanned casher, you may need them to defend yourself from magic spells. Ultimately, the goal should be to have ''just enough'' wizards to suit your needs at a given time. Less wizards means less money spent buying grains, but you must always consider the risk of not having as many on hand. One tip that I have used in the past is to go lighter on wizards throughout the month, and then gain them rapidly in the final week of the set. This allows you to save on food costs for most of the set while defending against final day mage spells when they are most likely to occur.		Wizards are another tough call.
