...i didn't see many people advocating food trade or taxing cities heavier XD
i think the issue in riombara is 2 folds.
more nobles in cities combined than rural/town. tax/food benefits cities, so all the more reason not to vote for changes that'll hit the cities.
no one tries to starve cities either though they can't really, as there's no 1 duke to rally around to secede for example.. it's unlikely to change
