OK. Since the scouting percentages seem somewhat more likely to be game
independent, I'll start with that on my next game.
Documenting the Monarch's taxing behavior seems like a much more
complicated exercise, since I assume it depends on variables like how
frequently you trade with Europe, what goods you trade, etc. But I'll see
what I can do.
Is there any reason to believe that taxation is affected by nation, e.g.
that the King of England taxes differently than the King of France? I
don't recall that from the original game and don't know that it would be a
good idea from a game balance perspective, but it would be good to be able
to eliminate at least one variable from the equation...
