I have for the last 1½ years, not accumulated any money. I have not build anything, i have no treaty which gives money away, i have a surplus of money, why do they not accumulate?
No bug.
We are all keenly awaiting a whitepaper on the economy, although Eric is now talking about clarification screens in a patch or soemthing.
Anyway, the cash on the Economic Adviser screen is before the impact of supply. (Upkeep is paid on all units or they disband. Supply is additional.)
You only have 2 depots (good - they are expensive), but you are paying for the supply of is it 3 or 4 armies? (The ones inthe area of the depot and the one one area away). If you kill the two depots and hit end turn, you have a profit of 32.
Its actually worse than just not having enough to accumulate gold - on the supply report it says that there wasn't enough gold to pay for welfare (it comes out of the budget second last, not at all like modern times); and not enough to pay for the draft, so no reinforcements are being distributed to your units. This would really hurt!
Why is your empire in this situation? You are playing a high feudal level Turkey (62), and playing like a nice person - all those levies are piling up, I assume. When you play a high feudal country, you need to spend those troops - get em killed off, or make sure they starve, or rent them out to other countries... Quite simply, your economy can't afford all those garrison and spare divisions you have. In fact, I am very impressed you got it so very large without the economy imploding. (1.2 million men under arms for anyone else who read this far - triple France!)
