Rat Man Jack: Catches rats with traps. Remember to keep a large amount of traps, because if you run out, the rats will eat your grain!

Sweet Smile Samson:  Sets up a gambling ring. Looks kinda dark and shady, like a slicked up snake, not one to be trusted. But then he flashes you that smile and you can't help but like the guy....

You can buy Rat Traps for 1000 traps per gold piece.  If you have Rat Man Jack and enough Rat Traps to stop all the rats, none will get through to your grain.  There is a random number of 1-3 rats per acre of land you own.

Set Up Gambling Ring Takes 10000 Gold, but it's only a one time investment.  Between 10% and 90% of your population will pay 1 to 12 gold on gambling, and you can receive a % equal to the taxrate you set.

Set Tax Rate lets you set the taxrate between 1% and 15%.  The more the taxrate the less peasants are likely to play, the less the taxrate, the more likely they are to play.  Tip:  6-8% is about the happy medium on this, though results are random from year to year.

Every year before the King's Menu is shown it will show how many traps Rat Man Jack used to kill rats, and tells you how many are left.  If the number of rats that year were greater than the number of traps Jack had, they may still get into the grain, yet not all of them (decided by number of rats-number rats killed/total number rats).  So if there are 1000 rats that year, and you only had 100 traps, then 900 rats have gotten by, and thus 90% of the total amount of grain that would of been eaten is still eaten.

Tip:  If you do not have Rat Man Jack, the chances of Rats getting into your grain is only a small percentage to start.  As you gain land, however, these chances begin to increase.  Starting at 1 in 12 for less than 100 acres, and going up to 1 in 4 for over 15000 acres.  Getting Rat Man Jack as soon as possible is a very good idea.

Rat Types: 

Rats - Normal rats that are very nasty and full of disease.  Up to 2 feet long with their tail, and may destroy up to 5% of your grain.

BlackRats - Larger cousins to the Rat, these have black matted fur and are very mean spirited.  Can grow up to 3 feet long with their tail, and may destroy up to 10% of your grain.

DragonRats - Called so for a small leather spine that sticks up like a lizard's down their back, these things reach a gigantic 5 feet long with their tail, and may destroy up to 20% of your grain.

Every year before the King's Menu is shown it will show you the percentage of peasants that played (10-90%), roughly that population that played, and how much gold you gained from the previous year.  Then it will show you the same stats from the current year.  Then it will give you a tip or 2 on how to increase revenue.  Taxes are instantly placed in your gold coffers.  You can keep track of the total gold you have made under the King's Menu>Specialists Menu.
