why am i looseing 12000 per turn for no obvious reason???

Pirates. Did you get the event that pirates were threatening your trade routes and pay 5000 florins to fund naval forces to help stop them? If you turned down that event you're going to lose 12,000 florins per turn to pirates.

i asumed that as i didn't even have any sea trade, it would affect me
i though the event just made more pirate ships apear and blocade your ports

how long dose this go on for then?

also, don't you think 12000 is a bit.. 'hefty'?

i'm not even any where near the sea
i have no sea trade
or are they these new russian 'land pirates'

It's a mechanism to cut back on the amount of money the player has. It only kicks in if your treasury is over 75,000 florins. Here's the code from campaign_script.txt that does it:

;---------------------- Pirates ------------------------------
declare_counter had_pirates
set_counter had_pirates 0

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
	set_event_counter great_pirates_accepted = 0
	set_event_counter great_pirates_declined = 0
	set_counter had_pirates  1
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
	and Treasury > 75000
	and RandomPercent < 10

	historic_event pirates true

end_monitor


monitor_conditions I_EventCounter pirates_accepted = 1
	and I_CompareCounter had_pirates = 1

	console_command add_money -5000

	set_counter had_pirates 0
end_monitor

monitor_conditions I_EventCounter pirates_declined = 1
	and I_CompareCounter had_pirates = 1
	and RandomPercent < 51

	console_command add_money -12000

	set_counter had_pirates 0
end_monitor

Delete that section and you won't see it any more.

It stopped for me about 10 turns later. I just added 12000 to my treasury through the console until it stopped. Although i have gotten this event several more times, it has not happened again.
