By the way, Telas, haven't you ever heard of a progressive tax system?? That tends to be much better for your population's quality of life. You're really screwing over poor people here pal

Alrighty, looks like someone went ahead and made this game 3 alliances vs 3 alliances. To that end we should probably find the Qadi first if at all possible.

Also, square of camels & khalif's palace both being sacrosanct makes it kind of difficult to lynch most people I should think.


I haven't played the previous ToD games, so can someone clarify for me whether Hassan is Qadi or CoV?


This is just a brilliant post from Silanah. Really insightful. You really did some thorough reading between the lines to reach these conclusions Sil and it is highly commendable.

Thanks Ruse ol' pal. Would you be so kind as to supervise me in my dissertation on mafia analysis? Word is that you're the premier mafia analyst in the world!! I'm so excited I finally got to meet you, to be honest I'd be happy merely crawling in your wake to lap up little nuggets of brilliance whenever you take a shit.

I may be naught but an amateur leper but I sure as hell didn't feel the need to point out that tiles being sacrosanct will make people hard to lynch. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that one by now honey.

He's the tax collector of ishktar oasis (this is in the details of the title someone posted earlier). Look at all the buildup on ishktar oasis: nothing defensive since he hasn't been attacked, but plenty of economic buildups. Why would he leave and travel 2 tiles, even paying to the bey, to be stuck in the same spot as a bunch of people who might want to kill him? Of course he's gonna stay where he's built up a base of power.

Quite a few assumptions there. Given that the ability is different from the Tax Collector of the South title from 0.33 the role and starting position could have nothing to do with Ishktar. It's not like people in other areas aren't complaining about taxation too.

And there's more upgrades in the Nepeth Empire just 1 spot away so even if he were in Ishktar there's no reason he would necessarily stay there.
