I just managed to finally make the Teutonic Knights my vassals (I'm playing as HRE, so this seems perfectly fitting too).
But when I look at my finance scroll, it shows "Income from Diplomacy/tributes: -2500, Expenditure: 50" (I'm paying 50 florins/turn for the Fatimids).
So why is the income negative? If it's an expenditure, shouldn't it be in the expenditure column, rather than by a negative value in the income column?
Or is it because I actually pay to have a vassal?
Edit: it only showed the -2500 the first turn after I made them vassals..
