Premise & Statecraft Under Court Pressure
Tax & Treason places players directly inside a volatile seat of governance where provincial fiscal policy collides head-on with palace survival. Raising levies replenishes an exhausted treasury, yet heavier taxation stirs resentment across noble houses and restless subjects alike. Extending concessions soothes discontent and preserves courtly loyalty, yet starves vital coffers right when external pressures mount. Because fiscal health and factional standing interlock across every political exchange, short-sighted greed or hesitation rapidly turns policy disputes into outright treason.
Browser-Native WebGL Interface & Landscape Flow
Built as an accessible open browser playtest at tnt.crenet.games, Tax & Treason renders its interactive court interface natively inside WebGL with instant browser startup and zero third-party client dependencies. On tablets and handheld devices, rotating into landscape mode unlocks clear horizontal spacing across council views, fiscal readouts, and action triggers so desktop and mobile strategists share clean ergonomics without cramped overlapping menus.
Reading Factional Tension & Crenet Link Identity
Steady rulership depends on spotting discontent trajectories before open conspiracy hardens across noble factions and merchant houses. Prudent administrators alternate intentionally between treasury accumulation and civic reconciliation—building modest silver reserves during calm political cycles so they can afford emergency concessions or firm stabilization measures whenever court suspicion spikes. Timing difficult taxes alongside offsetting political goodwill separates durable reigns from sudden coups.
