Tax Evasion Enforcement

“	By order of the elite Empire, the owners of this property are under arrest. For crimes of tax evasion, treason and public disorder. Fall silently and all the more painless this will be for you!	”
–Samurai

Tax Evasion Enforcement is an Event that can occur when you refuse or fail to pay taxes as part of the Tax Collector or Tax Man Visit events. It cannot trigger if Emperor Tengu is killed or captured.

Once triggered, the United Cities will launch an assault party. This party will consist of at least two squads, usually each consisting of 10-20 Samurai Conscripts, 2-5 Samurai, and 1-3 Samurai Scouts, led by a Samurai. Rarely one or more of the squads will be substituted by a squad consisting of 1-4 Samurai Conscripts, 5-8 Samurai, and 1-3 Samurai Scouts, led by a Samurai Sergeant.

Once the assault party arrives, the leader will read out the charges the player is being charged with, then orders the attack to begin. If the player interrupts the War Leader with dialog, they can pay a fine of 6,000 cats instead and the assault will retreat, while the Tax Collector Event will trigger in 120-140 hours. If the player refuses to pay, or ignores the War Leader, the assault will begin. If the assault is defeated, the United Cities Assault event will trigger in 72-144 hours. If the player is defeated, the Tax Collector event will be triggered in 12-48 hours, where you will be expected to pay 6,000 cats or face another attack.
