[Discuss] New Tax System

[Anthony Anderson]

I sent this OOC to Minas Ithil, but I think it warrants posting here.  Maybe
for discussion, maybe for a clarification from Tom.  None of the speculation
is any more than just that- speculation.  But if it can be verified or
rejected, that might at least be a good place to start:

External note: that 180 to militia is still driving me crazy as well.
There's about 200 militiamen, accounting for about 3000 CS.  I guess maybe I
never noticed that militia costs the same amount to maintain as a normal
unit?  I didn't remember this being the case in the past.
