DEB -> RE: Trade Bug / Error in Spartan ( on Vista ) (11/20/2018 10:50:07 PM)

I am happy to report that I have traced the problem with regard to point 1. in my previous post here ! [8|]
It transpires that it is related to my use of Ctrl + Esc to drop the game to the desktop ( so I can read / check my PDF manual ).
Because the game has a function ( in the Trade system ) for the Ctrl key ; sadly it cannot differentiate between that use and the general PC usage of Ctrl + Esc to drop any game to the desktop... Therefore, each time I use Ctrl + Esc, I must then hit the Ctrl key after I go back "into" the game, in order to reset the game's Trade systems correct operational functions. Something similar applied in Chariots of War too. Perchance I should have remembered that... My Apologies.
Whilst here, I note also, that although the Ctrl or Shift keys can be used ( with Left and Right clicks ) to increase/decrease Trade buys/sells by 100 or 1,000 ; such usage is limited to the Trade Limit applicable at the time. I.E. If the trade limit is 80, then attempts to adjust Trade by 100 or 1,000 will result in an adjustment of 80 only ( less whatever amount had been "used up" already ). Sadly, the Manual does not cover the Trade Limit at all, and the Tutorials neglect it's issues.
Re 2. This is still an issue ( of sorts )...
Strangely the figures involved have changed slightly :
The first workers figures remain the same. They were correct anyway. If I have two workers who produce at 6 ( making 12 ), also with a 10% bonus ; then this ( 13.2 ) is rounded up now to 16 ( up 1 ). So here it adds 12 + 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.6 + 0.6 = 16. Firstly the 10% is added twice. Secondly the rounding is applied to each figure before the calculation is continued. However, I do not understand where the extra 0.6 has come from at all! Anyway, thus the sum becomes 12 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 16. Thus in due course actually now adding 33% ( it was 25% ) rather than 10% ! The third worker, however, remains at : 3 x 6 ( + 10% ) equaling 25 ( rather than 20 ) = +"39%" !
[ Sadly, I am unable to trace any reason for the change to the 2 Worker figures...[X(] ]
