NOT A BUG: WaD: Trade Embargo 98% effective

Trade Embargo 98% effective

Hi all!
Now I know that most of the bugs that I reported where no-bugs or known issues, but this time I searched really hard....
So here it goes:
France is refusing me trade, but since I have 110% trave effectiveness, I still earn 2.2 in Ile de France.
CoT is worth 473, I have 25% activity.

Seems like there is a smuggler feature in the game...

At least in EU1 I recall hearing mention that embargo would remove most, but not all income, so I'd bet upon WaD smuggling as well

Now would be an appropriate time to bring up a display bug:

When you have over 100% trade efficiency, the rollovers in the merchants window say that you have "* 0.110" due to trade level, rather than "* 1.10"

It seems fairly easy to fix, and also seems to be a result of just a simple programming shortcut (output "0.x" rather than output "0.x" unless x is > 100)

I think that's the bug covered in:

335 : Type: Interface | Status: NEW | Severity: MINOR
COT trade value hint text wrong for high trade levels
Reported In: 1,05 | Correction planned In : | Corrected In

So you'r telling me that since my merchants are so good they can pull out some money from a CoT even if they'r not allowed to enter it? Now that's good public relation skills! How about giving me a share of ALL CoT while we are at it
But this has nothing to do with bug #355.

No it hasn't, but it is WaD. Even when embargoed you still have your merchants in place (reducing the income for monopoly holders in the CoT etc) so the trade is still in your hands, you only get much less money from it. (What with costs of smuggling, fake front companies, trading outside of normal market venues etc)
