What about corruption???

I guess all this discussion doesn't take into account corruption since I have a most bizarre exception in one of my cities:

Trade: 5 Corruption:3

(30%) Tax: 3
(0%) Lux: 0
(70%) Sci: 3

Clearly 3+3 does NOT add up to 5. So there must be some portion of the corruption that actually is not corruption (?!?) or something else must be happening.

Might that city have a marketplace? Its 50% bonus would explain the 3 tax.

Ahah! Good point! Didn't check that but I think that is the case. But the city also has a library???

Marquis,
I don't really understand what you are asking me to do. This one post seems sufficient on its own. If you want it to be linked in the library, go ahead. I don't exactly know how to do it myself.

Among others, Marquis wants to say you could periodically add new ideas (corrections, supplements...) posted here to your first post.

Did you notice the idea of "condensed" threads? See "The Great Library: a hierarchical structure".

Yes he should, especially considering that all his brochures falsely advertise a doubling of your learning rate regardless of previous education.
