I was cashing at $7+ mil and now I am at $3.6 after running bonuses. I am not sure if the bonuses had anything to do with it, but I had cashed, used bonus, and then cashed. My PCI is about $20+ lower than it should be and I am at 170% on my techs.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: It looks like my results are half of what they should be.

I ran my tax rate high two turns, and then dropped it back down. I guess what I am experiencing is the loss of pop while taxes are high. Sorry for the fire drill if that is what it is....I'm still a noob.

your income depends from pop and tax combination and if pop leaves due too high tax then income drops, it gets back after you drop tax to normal but that takes time.

that's where greed gets you. if you indeed wanted to max your gain, you should do 1 bonus a time, but once your civs leave, you basically lose a few turns income.

Its not worth it to cash 2 turns at 70% tax with PCI booms. The income loss after that is huge.

The only time you do this is when you run your last 2 turns of the set. which will you give about 65% extra $.

So if you were cashing 10m per turn and you do this 70% tax rate PCI boom, you will get about 100m instead of 60m.
