Except that he makes mistakes every time. If no changes can be made,
the game is less fun for all.
He's already made changes this game: prisoners no longer count to
reduce the movement penalty. Personally I thought that was a bug.
I also feel that it's a bug that the total to be made from trade
is greater than the total to be made from taxation.

That's not quite true -- nobody knew how much trade routes made, how

dozen turns had passed.
