The New Alliance Tax

In an effort to level the playing field of KOTW by curbing the power of the Alliance, our benevolent creator will be implementing an "Alliance Tax". As a part of this new system, each Alliance will receive its own Treasury. Each Treasury will remain under control of their respective Alliances, while members can deposit gold in order to increase the Treasury's funds. During the daily maintenance, our creator will then subtract gold from the Treasury to pay for the "Alliance Tax". The tax itself will be calculated using the wealth of the 40 members of the Alliance with the most gold to form an average. This average will then be multiplied against the total number of Alliance members. If an Alliance cannot pay the tax or refuses to do so, that Alliance will lose some privileges including but not limited to Alliance invasions, Alliance defense, and faster caravan speeds. For smaller Alliances with less than 40 members, our creator will just take the wealth of the Alliance and divide it by 40. Thus, it will then be cheaper for smaller Alliances. Independents will not be affected directly by the "Alliance Tax" for obvious reasons. The new Treasury system will also be implemented for future changes and abilities like the Wonders of the World/Monuments, Exchange between Alliances, Reparations, and other economic ventures.
