New proposal:
o Location castle or citadel is in gets 2X (600) tax base.
No tandem effect for city/province, though.
o Citadel may not be built within 2 hops of another castle or
citadel.
o Citadel additionally collects 50% of surrounding province's taxes.
Optional wrinkles:
Recent pillaging in a surrounding province: -25% penalty
for that province.
Surrounding province guarded: +25% bonus for that province.
o A citadel would be more expensive to build, but would of course
provide stronger defense in battle, and would hold many men.
Analysis:
bonus for adding a guard to a
province neighboring a citadel: 75 gold
max gold (citadel, city, 4 guarded
provinces, no pillaging): 1800 gold/month
min gold for a citadel (citadel, no
city, 4 unguarded pillaged provinces,
but no pillaging in citadel province): 900 gold
