Nickle and dimed at the gate.

Not sure if this is a bug or just some fuzzy math happening but here goes:

At the gate - hire a follower:

Brute Mercenary

25 Bronze / day

For 2 days it should be 50 bronze, right?  Nope -

Then there is the 20% ( ) tax on followers at the gate.  The dialog tells me that the tax is 10 bronze.

But when I go to pay the tax:

events wrote: 02nd of Jul 2013 02:56 :You have paid your Market Tax of 11 Bronze to Camaar.

 (I had a clear tax bill, had already paid what I owed at the market.)

So for no reason, I end up paying an extra 4 bronze at the gate?

As for the price of all the followers at gate, it seems to follow a pattern...
Cost for n days = n * price + (n-1)*price/10  (rounded up)

So,
Cost for 2 days = 2 * 25 + (2-1)*25/10 = 52.5  = rounded to 53


Tax is then applied to the Cost

20% of 53 = 10.6 B

One of the values might have been rounded down (10B) & the other rounded up (11B)

Atleast that is my theory XD
Maybe I am totally wrong... This is what I could find at this hour(1 am) XD


Edit :
There may be also a situation where the tax of a person is stored with decimal values so any previous reminders are also considered...

Eg: 10.6 + 0.4 (Old remains) = 11B

As I stated earlier, this is also a theory... No idea what the actual system is XD
