I haven't really found a connection between the king's anger and tax rates. Usually I don't give gold if he asks for too much, but I give in to tax increases. Unless I can hold an "ore party" instead of a "silver party", but in most cases my most valuable trade resource would go into the harbor. I can live with anger, but I can't live with 100 tons of silver sitting in the bottom of my port.
Anyway, about the pioneer: a cabin on the wood source would be nice, but that'd take 20 turns. I'd only make a pioneer early in the game when it's useless in the city or if I'm running low on food.
