It work like this every alliance any determine the tax % on all players which will help alliance to collect rubies. a % of rubies goes to cash box directly when we loot rubies.

    I don't like this at all.
    1) what if someone needs the rubies?
    2) Donations are supposed to be made voluntarily
    3) This will just make people hate alliances

    Nope, not going to happen. This would just be taking them out of pockets which may not have wanted to give them up. And what if I hit a fortress, get 280 rubies, and have to have a tax of 10% taken off of that? 28 rubies out of pocket.

    Also, did you think about what those alliances that are maxed in upgrades will have happen? Rubies will be thrown in, with nothing other than the name change of the alliance to do.

    I like this idea. Alliance leaders should be able to set a ruby tax.

    Eric768, You gain 280 rubies and can't give back 28? Also, why would the tax be made default? If a alliance is mxed out in upgrades, simply stop the tax.

    As a few others said,donating rubies should usually be made optional,but strongly encouraged. Forcing people to donate rubies would bring them closer to wanting to leave.

    Yes donating rubies should not be mandatory. What if I was 10 rubies away from upgrading my bakery and my alliance had a 10% tax. I would attack a robber baron and I loot 10 rubies (I know that you would normally get more but this is just theoretical) I would be so mad that I would have to spend thousands more coins to attack another robber baron when I could have just gotten that 1 ruby if this idea wasn't implemented.

    Thanks for changing it, we both know what you really said. And I meant a level 1 robber baron. Is it that hard to understand? And it's "baron". And anyone who doesn't believe me, try it out. Post and then edit. It won't show.

    This idea would be just plain greedy.I don't buy rubies and I have to scavenge for rubies wherever I can,just so I can buy anything.Then the alliance just waltzes away with my hard earned rubies,and I don't even get a say in the matter.

    why 10%? In many alliances, players are quite greedy and stack up their rubies, barely ever contributing. Now if everyone donated just 2%, it would add up faster than none at all, and wouldn't really affect players.

    28 rubies buys 2 iron rams. 5 Fortress hits makes 10 iron rams. That is basically enough for the ram portion of an attack. That is a big deal to people who don't buy rubies.

    You said it, it is basically a default, by saying it should automatically going to the cashbox.

    I think it would be a good idea, as long as it is adjustable and you could turn it off, donating a small percentage of the looted rubies is a small price to pay for being in a strong alliance.

    10% of looted rubies is next to nothing for something you get for free and you would have to attack more npcs to save the same amount of rubies, which gives you a coin profit if you do it right and the all important equipment.
    they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing
