income taxes

I think you should incorporate income taxes into the game. Its hard for beginners to get money if they do not know what there doing. And the wilderness does not drop enough coins when you go to harvest.

You can join a decent alliance where they will help you out with resources and even treasures you need to level up. Have fun Haypi-ing~

it may be challenging, but we all have started there, and have worked our way to the top

It's such obstacles and challenging bits that makes the game fun. When you look back, the sense of achievement would be sweet.

They do that already with trades in the market. You don't get the full amount, a percentage is withheld.

I think what he meant was the posibility to collect income taxe from civilians in the city so as to get money.

That would make more sense I didn't understand how taking a percentage from hunts would help at all.

this however presents another problem, lower levels still have to upgrade there population... also higher players also have higher population anyway meaning it also makes it too easy for larger players to get yet more money

You've not really explained your idea but I agree with thLove, a sense of achievement is good. And if you're talking about a population based monetary income that wouldn't really work IMO. To make it worthwhile for low levels it would have to be quite high per citizen. By the time you get a few cities with 6290 (?) citizens each, and trading prices at 0.01-0.03 for resources, the amount of money people have will be stupidly large
