hi, I am inquiring to see if the clan members donate say 800million silver to help build the stronghold, does that silver get included in the commanders total and charged 10% every day?  So 80 million a day would come off the savings the clan has donated,,,,, if so how would a clan every build a stronghold?  

Why have the taxes and the levy, so the money gets taxed once when they send it in then again daily as it sits in the SH bank waiting for the SH to be built? 

makes no sense.

You are right it makes no sense, especially as, as was pointed out by John, its only new players who dont know the dodges that suffer.  There are other advantages to  not having one person store all the resources, and keeping them spread around till you are ready to build the stronghold.
