And toll castles. The rentier bastards

Yeah I take it this is one of those things we have to be constantly trying to destroy?

Burghers can build roads if the right privileges are selected.  Some of the other estates can build special buildings although sometimes they aren't good. 

The estates do use income to buy good output and drive up demand IIRC so that's useful.

Otherwise, I think the default assumption is that nobles with extra income will just fritter it away on banqueting and pointy shoes.

Some are inept, others are simply pro-Russia and it's kind of kleptocracy.

I'm really lost on how US senators thought it would go down well that they voted themselves the ability to sue the US government for heaps of cash. Like, don't be so obvious. You all aren't Trump.

Do I remember correctly that the new oil sanction is only scheduled to come into effect like next week or something? Maybe Putin was playing to have Trump cancel or postpone it and he will probably manage it.

It's just terrible what inept idiots are at the helm in the US.

But also, as I understand the game doesn't simulate ALL money/wealth in circulation like Vic3 does. Not sure just giving lost tax money to estates would work.

So a left wing party dedicating themselves to being dicks to refugees ISN'T a sensible approach?
Well I am shocked.

Explanation I've heard which makes sense, Russia pretending to care about peace again right now all to cause maximum disruption to Ukraine whilst it is dealing with a corruption scandal.
