If Tom wants *any* help on finding bugs, he's going to have to give  
us *some* idea of what the heck's going on.  Otherwise, all we have  
to go on to tell if something's a bug is common sense, and there's a  
*lot* in this game that violates common sense until you understand it  
properly.

I fully support keeping some stuff secret, but come on!  Whether or  
not there's a progressive tax rate on gold/bonds in hand is *not*  
something that makes much sense to keep secret.  Not like battle  
mechanics, which is perfectly reasonable to keep obfuscated.  I mean,  
tax rate is the kind of thing your own realm's government should be  
able to *control*--unlike, again, battle mechanics, which are  
inherently chaotic and unpredictable.
