Wierd Financial Issue

[Ryric]

Okay - I'm not an expert ruler, but I can deal with my leaders being financially irregular. However, when the game engine goes financially irregular, I am stumped.

I was playing a game as Saba, and was fairly far along into it. I was saving for an upgraded mining complex - the one that costs a small fortune. I was sitting on my 4500 per turn profit when I noticed something wierd - even though the financial end of turn summary showed me to be at 20k, the in game counter showed me at 11,633. I ended the next turn and my summary showed 24k, but the ingame showed only 11,833.

That's a lot of inflation there... Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Did you recruit, repair, refresh units? The in-game mechanisms cannot understand many of EB'S changes, but honestly I do not know detailed things that could go in your direction. I never paid attention to this pop-up as it's IMO only useful to see how much corruption I've got in my empire.

Hmm...

Maybe one or two repairs, but not enough to make up the difference. I ended several more turns and noticed that the ingame counter went up by only 200 each time.

Farming income depends on the right time to harvest, trade routes can change because of captures and/or rebellions of foreign towns, your FM's can get good/bad management/financial traits that will also have a deep influence on your income.
However, you can add manually the shown numbers on campaign map to see what real income you have.
