Seems like every clans treasury has dropped to 5-15 days remaining. Guessing their monthly tax was calculated based on 20 members, but their new max treasury is based on 10 members.

Appreciate we have time to fill them, and it might not happen again too often, but kinda sucks for clan owners, especially people who recently filled treasuries having to do it again soon. Might lose a few clans if people thought they were safe from being disbanded for a while.

The base tax is unchanged (determined by each bot and their level). But for any clan at 20 members or above, it has doubled two additional times since that now applies at 15 and 20 members. Pretty sure this is all intended as Ed even remembered to update the treasury page itself:

• Tax is calculated per bot, with higher level bots requiring more tax.
• Tax doubles for every 5 additional members past 10.

Makes sense, a warning/notice would have been appreciated though.

The idea is to have smaller clans and this treasury thing supports it.

We just need to make more clans now to keep the 90 days tax.

Since I believe the 10 members cap will stay after this experimental month, we should adapt our clans to 10-20 members.

I'll probably wait to my clans to disappear and then I'll rebuild then accordingly. Lusitania also needs to reduce its members too.

I filled up my clan treasure pretty fast, but now it is only 80 days compared to old 90 days :)

Now it has been changed back after I kicked bots and spent an hour training :D

I've reverted this part of the 20 -> 10 change, for now.

For the record, Gpof's summary is correct. Every place "20" had been hardcoded got parameterized and set to 10 once May started (well, 15 minutes if we're being specific - the end-of-month trophy script needed to still use "20"). And I agree that there either needs to have been more clear of announcement about this, or better protections for clans that are pending disbandment now due to not paying taxes. The way it works right now is kind of sneaky and brutal and has led to at least a couple top clans getting disbanded.

So expect this steeper tax to return at some point.

Increased taxes (eventually) and less reason for levellers to be in top clans (if they'll struggle to be part of the top 10) might make them find different homes over the long term. Hopefully a review of the tax system can come as part of that - maybe discounts for clans that actively compete in energy races.
