Four Actions a Turn

[Olesens]

I was considering testing four actions per domain turn in my campaign,
but I'd like to know if anyone else here has tried it. It does allow
more actions per timespan but also less time between
taxations/collections. Comments?

Actually it creates more time between taxations/collections if you still
stick to the one action per month rule. This gives you 3 Domain Turns per
year.

I did this once before. It's good for strapping down the resources because
they have to go one more month on the gold; plus there is one less taxation
period per year, so the annual income is down 1/4.

All in all, I preferred it. There were some downsides if you ask the
players, as they had to stretch their resources; but for me (DM) it helped a
lot because there wasn't so much action going on due to the lower resources;
and things got accomplished on a more realistic (to me) timeframe.

I agree totally. It also reduces the mney gererated from TRs by 1/4. All in
all it makes war a very expensive proposition for small countries, bu as you
grow, you can wield more power.

Well, I was thinking of including some seasonal modifiers to the tax base, like
automatically giving the minimum tax money during the winter domain turn.

Wouldn't that depend on the area you are playing in? I doubt many of the
southern lands will have that much trouble in winter. Anyway, if you do
that, you might want to add some bonus in the autumn, when the farmers
get their harvest. I think that the tax income is an avarage over the
whole year and takes constant fluctuations into account.
