Taxes - Castles

2.5% of the total resource income from all land plots within the entire Region is available to be earned by a Castle owner. This means that a Castle owner has the potential to earn up to 2.5% of all of the resource production from all 1000 plots in the region. Put another way, a Castle Owner has the potential to earn resources equivalent to nearly 25 other plots (1000 plots * 2.5% = 25 plots worth of production).

The amount of the tax receipts that are captured by the workers in a Castle is determined by the Production output of those workers using the following formula:

[resource income] * 0.025 * PP / (PP + 10,000)

To take an example, let's say a player harvests 10,000 Grain. If the Castle owner in the region in which the harvest took place has workers and boosts that produce 50,000 PP in total, then the amount captured by the Castle owner would be: 10000 * 0.025 * 50,000 / (50,000 + 10,000) = 208.33 Grain

Castles will also additionally act as a Keep with regard to capturing taxes from the land plots within the same Tract as the Castle building. The calculations for how Keeps capture taxes from the land plots within their Tract are described in the Taxes - Keeps section below. This effectively gives the Castle another nearly 5 land plots worth of resource income, for a total of roughly 30 plots worth when added with the ~25 plots worth described above.
