    IIRC, if an AI faction with ships on vital sea lanes suddenly declares war on you, you could have loyalty on some provinces drop by as much as 50-60%, maybe even more. I usually find it very dangerous on the midgame especially since this could cut off some of my newer conquests away from the king.

    What I usually do is put the money making lands that I initially have or have conquered early on on very high and leave the rest on normal. Troublesome provinces get set to low or very low. Once I have trade set-up, money ceases to be a problem for me so I don't bother with setting provinces on very high anymore. It's just a potential headache if mass rebellions start pouring in. I usually tinker with taxes only on the early game. I just leave stuff on normal in the midgame to late game.

    Glad this thread generated good replies. Thanks for all the feedback.

    Regarding auto-clean up for armies: after reading all the replies, the consensus seemed to be to turn it off. I tried that in a new campaign and I agree that it should be turned off (i.e my initial tip was wrong). I did discover the "M" shortcut key which allows you to merge an entire stack's units quickly and that pretty much makes the auto-clean obsolete.

    Regarding auto-tax: Yes, there are situations when auto-tax is dangerous, but since I was really after quick and efficient play, I believe that auto-tax saves micromanagement time and may produce better income. What we really need is an auto-tax on per-province basis (I think RTW will have that as "auto-manage" Yipee!)

    I liked the tip about moving your agents/armies to an intermediate province and then moving them later after adjusting the map. I will try it in my next campaign.

    Agreed. If I could auto-tax my provinces at different rates, I'd do it.
