Rules Errata and Reminders
Tithe Income: If you are paying a tithe to a Religious Primate and the rate of the tithe is less than 5% then there is no effect to you; you do not lose any money. If the rate of the Tithe is greater than 5%, then you lose 1% of Tax Rate for each percentage point of the tithe over 5.

Bidding on Mercs: When you are making a bid for mercenaries, please make separate bids for mercenary units and mercenary leaders.

New Ruling on the Rule action. After a talk with Thomas, I have found that yet again I was wrong. When your King/Queen/Heir Rules, their 4th stat (The all important hidden stat) is added to your Infra level. The 4th stat is between 1 and 10, so you do not get 100%.

Elite troops: They are available to be built/trained when you achieve tech level 5 or greater, this represents how well your troops are versed in combat

Holy Troop:. Holy troops must be used in combat with the target religion., they can not sit around.
