England and money

[Wscott2233]

What is going wrong my finance screen says I make 5k a turn then when I click end turn it subtracts anywhere from 3k to 4500 then when the turn comes back around I have like 600 gold so some how I make 5k in profits then lose 4500 at the end turn. I have no armies in the field and no units at all outside of my towns????? My friend has tried other countries and it didnt do this to them. But he just tried England it happens to him then also

building queues?

Are you earning enough to cover these misc cost:

Assassin and Spy Network Costs
Assassins and spies now cost 500 Florins per turn when operating outside of friendly territory. This represents bribes to petty officials, pay offs to the gate guards, palm greasing of informants, gratuities for traitors and other sundry expenses incurred when operating in unfriendly territory. Might still be a good investment to send a spy ahead into a target settlement to shorten the siege...and then maybe not. More choices for thee.
Growing Settlement Penalty
The player incurs increasing costs per settlement as the settlements increase in size. For settlements: level 1 -50fl, level 2 -100fl, level 3 -200fl, level 4 -400fl, level 5 -800fl (only cities have a level 5). This simulates the greater amount of graft, waste and corruption as cities expand.

That must be it I had 2 spies outside the lands and like 5 lvl 3 cities. Do diplomats and merchants cost also???? I wish the finance screen would show all this would make it tons easier to manage. Ok so that accts for 2k each turn what is the other 2k to 3k??? Merchants ? Diplomats???


Not in the building queues I havent been able to build anything for around 10 turns now. I mean sometimes I have diasters but I have good things happen also so it evened out.
