In spite of the matter being raised numerous times by others in the dim and distant past, I bring this up again, just to remind the "owners" and "devs" that their record of correcting "bugs" before "new content" is woefully INADEQUATE.

Traders cost 30 gold per hour.

This is correctly deducted in arriving at the gold balance at the top of the screen.

This is NOT accounted for in the tax income and expenses screen.

The research topic Traders Luxuries is broken. There is no 20% discount applied to the 30 gold per hour figure. I assume the topics Expense Accounts and Expense Controls are similarly BROKEN. The reason I've waited so long to moan is that I'd left those topics which I knew didn't work but I got bored the other day and started queueing them.

Such a nice "game" but such a rubbish attitude towards the customers.

And as for trying to release Age of Ascent in preference to fixing and already released product?

Here's hoping the next post will be from the "owners" telling us WTF they are doing about it and when it will be fixed.

I didn't realize this bug still existed, but it really annoyed me (and almost caused one of my towns to go bankrupt) a year or so ago. So although it is a somewhat minor issue, it would be very nice if got fixed. I know there have been petitions in the past about it.

Thank you - I can see that things are changing by the number of bugs that were fixed in the last update. I would suggest that bug fixes are rolled into quarterly updates with KNOWN release dates and that once bugfix development is complete and tested for a partcular bug, it is publicised in advance so that people know what is going to be fixed and when.

During this bug fix, it appears something went wrong. Suddenly the prestige for caravan movements is not working. Incoming seems to work but the other one does not. Will this be fixed soon?

If you haven't done so already, I suggest you file a petition.
