from a conversation with my dad the other day
dad: so can the dwarves get an agricultural tax break for beehives?
me: the dwarves don't really pay taxes because they're a planned economy
dad: oh, does that work well for them?
me, thinking back to how every fort has gone: no
planned economy probably works but only if the planner (me) is not a dumbass (impossible)
Don't forget to show him how the capitalism simulator from the older versions worked out (Almost everyone broke, naked and homeless while a few dwarves have heaps of coins in their rooms)
i guess in the more recent releases, economy is just entirely disabled, regardless of your menu option
which is great, it was wild broken iirc
At least you still have nobles bringing the fortress to its knees with insane arbitrary demands until you get fed up and introduce them to the magma dunk tank
I mean, considering how capitalism worked out in their past few experiments with it...
