Do you have armies outside of settlements? Or spies/assassins in foreign lands?

The advisor doesn't take account of the money you win/lose trough scripts so, in this mod, you can never trust him. If you go to scripts.txt (I think that's the file, could be wrong) you'll see that armies cost extra money on the field and spies and assassins have a much bigger upkeep when in enemy lands. You always have to take these factors into account when planning your conquests. A small mistake and you lose your game because you'll be drown in unpayable debts. Be careful!

If you have a stack of troops, no matter the size of the stack, and it ends it's turn outside of a settlement, then you will pay between 2000 and 12000 florins per stack (for catholic and orthodox factions) per turn that his condition is met. So, if you are England and go on a crusade to Jerusalem, expect to spend a lot of money.

wonder how long it would take to conquer all the way to jerusalem :hmmm:
