== Taxes and Tributes ==
Units pay taxes or tributes when the "give_tax" task is triggered. [[Kingdom Traits|Kingdom traits]] have a very strong effect on taxes/tributes. When paying taxes units lose 5 happiness or 10 happiness if it is a 70% tax/tribute rate. Loot is transferred into money after taxes are payed or skipped (happens when taxes can't be payed or unit is a king).
