What's wrong with Rhodes?

[Spoofa]

Rhodes has a problem with merchants pocketing the trade tax their suppose to collecting and giving to you.

See that number underneath a city's name? Right next to the little "happiness" face. Yeah, that one.

Ignore it. IGNORE THE HELL OUT OF IT. As if it were your little sister. Or that nagging voice that is telling you that you should be doing school/uni/whatever work instead of playing games. It is just plain misleading.

Instead, double-click on the city, and click on the Settlement Details button on the bottom left of the scroll. On the bottom left of that scroll (IIRC), there's another button that details the city's finances: click it. THAT is the number you should be paying attention to.
