Casher strat

[Nuclear Raunch]

All the coding for huts and markets is in the "Empty Land" thread.

I'm not the greatest at reading code or math so hopefully someone can test this out and see how accurate these numbers are.

I will be using 1,000 acres for all examples. Also I did not include any racial income bonuses.

Tax rates below 20 give a bonus to peasants allowed to live on the land and tax rates above 40 give a penalty.

First a 2:1 ratio with 39% tax rate

Basically 1:1 appears to be about the best.
