M2 HRE Test Imperial Diet Deliberations

[Lucjan]

To leave Innsbruck completely undefended would be folly, as both Venice and Milan are powerful neighbors with close borders there, and we aren't yet sure of their intentions. Perhaps an edict declaring your direct desires for Innsbruck could be outlined?

I would currently be willing to allow the Imperial coffers to absorb the cost of taking one of your spear and archer regiments into the Imperial garrison at Staufen.

I would also like to propose an edict altering our taxation levels for the next 10 years (five turns).

My review of our income suggests that in order to bring some money for advancement into the ducal households the Imperial tax must be lessened. Some disbandment will occur in the Imperial garrisons to allow our coffers to handle upkeep. But what is necessary must be done. The Imperial disbandment orders will be detailed more directly in the strategy room (The Orders Thread).

My suggested change for Imperial taxation is as follows.


Taxation Edict #1
1 - Until Bologne can put it's 1,000 florin grant to use in getting back on it's feet, the Imperial coffers will cover the cost of their 20 florin deficit.
2 - Taxes for Vienna set to 200 florins.
3 - Taxes for Innsbruck set to 0.
4 - Taxes for all other settlements will remain as is until we hear from the
occupying nobility, at which point this clause of the edict will be altered.
