Dark culture still getting the income penalty from low stability - looks like a bug?
The description for dark culture says "Cities can ignore penalties from low city stability". However, my custom faction with dark culture has low stability on its city and is still getting reduced income.

The description doesn't say "wont lose provinces", it says "can ignore penalties" so logically that would include income.

Is this worded incorrectly or is this a bug?

I haven't played Dark in some time so my memories of how it works are not very up to date. But I thought not losing provinces was the (only) penalty Dark ignored. Might be some unclear wording? Just because someone can, doesn't mean they will.

For the bonus (or rather to ignore the penalty) for low stability, you need to build the Tier II Townhall. Did you make sure you build it?

Also, it will still state the default Low Stability description when you hover over your towns stability icon, but you won't actually lose any income IF you have a Tier II Townhall.

If you made sure you have a Tier II Townhall but still lose income, then maybe you are experiencing a bug. I personally did not notice any of the sort when I tested out Dark Culture.

Hmm. I think it should be made clearer how it works, it feels kind of misleading.

The Tier I Dark Town Hall ignores 50% of City Stability Penalties, this is improved to 100% when building the Town Hall Tier II and is expanded to blocking rioting with the Construction of the Overlord's Tower.
