[discord.gg]

Regular games with Ultra Historical on [www.twitch.tv]

Ultra Historical Debts & Taxes is the seventh mod of the Ultra Historical mod series.

• Low Taxation options taxes less
• Medium Taxation option taxes slightly less
• High Taxation options taxes more but with more political drawbacks and makes taxation less efficient
• Per Capita Taxation law no longer give income taxes by default
• Reduced authority cost of consumption taxes
• Added numerous taxation law amendments available when negociating with IGs
• Added decisions to add extra taxation (via amendment) in time of war

Those changes makes taxation less powerful, at least early on, reducing the State’s direct intervention in economy (and indirectly increasing the relative importance of the private sector).
The new rates are also more realistic, while the amendments makes for specific cases (like temporary use of income tax by Britain in the Napoleonic Wars).

• Rebalanced how the credit limit is created so it can be way higher than in base game
• Country Ranks directly affects credit limit
• Rebalanced interest rates to be closer to reality, nerfing most of the modifiers allowing 0% interest rates or close.
• Countries no longer starts with meaningfull gold reserves, excepted if there is historical data showing it
• Added "back" historical debts paradox had created in the script but disabled
• Rebalanced historical debts using actual historical data in the cases where such data is available

Those changes are doing a huge balance shift on top of making the starting world more "alive". Things like Napoleonic Wars, Independance Wars, End of Slavery with compensation…
etc that happened in the few decades prior to game starts have actual consequences.
Some countries will starts with a awefull debt to GDP ratio but will be able to stay afloat thanks to their Empire, and others like Spain will likely be forced into bankrupcy.
Yes, some AIs/players will struggle a lot there, but their historical counterparts did too!
Higher credit limits will also allow longer and bloodier wars if a global conflict somehow erupts…

• English (by default for "unsupported languages")
• French
