Net income problem - 8/16/2005 8:34:58 PM

Maybe someone can help me with this one

I play france, started in 1796, marshall, highest glory, 23 years.
My tax I set at 15% to prevent much waste
I became an empire some time ago, put the feudal thingie at 25
got some 50 colonies.

I am now in 1805 and only at war with Russia. No cossacks yet because Russia is bussy fighting Austria and Turkey.

All my armies at full strength. Not too many depots. And I try to sell all products which I overproduce (again to prevent waste).

Now my net Income states that I earn about 60 per month. But still my treasury is getting emptier and emptier. How come?

Also, after some wars my treasury is depleted, nothing strange there. However after I start making money again, or so it states, net income is 30 or 40 whatever. My treasury chronicly stays at 0. How so? Even after all my armies are again at full strenght still 0. I can only get now some militia's and can't develop my provinces.
get's a bit annoying (understatement).

Eliminate the Fuedal thingie as it takes away from merchant returns.

1. If your armies are full, drop all depots. They suck up all your money.
2. Check your trades how much are you giving away?
3. Move your merchants to locations where they are the only ones there and the income is high. Do not put them in oceans adjacent to your enemies as they do not make as much. I find the north sea by Hanover a good spot, as well as around Demark, and Genoa in the Med. Leave a fleet with the merchants if you want to keep them alive.

Check your treaties and make sure you are not commited to paying anyone. Also do not trust the Trade minister screen, it is bugged. Remember there is some random element but if you get 40-60 plus you should be ok.

That's probably your problem. Go march on Moscow. Once your army melts away you will see your net income jump

The net income line is only a prediction of what you'll get during the round but it doesn't take a few variable things into account -- some of the obvious things are weather and enemy movements, but a few subtler things are the positions of your own troops, since the upkeep/supply costs vary greatly by their positions (troops cost more to upkeep in enemy territory, troops cost more when drawing supply than when not and when located in large stacks).

For the next version we'd like to add a comprehensive economic report that shows every single source of income and every single expense for every single resource on one big master table that will hopefully help to disambiguate (to use a Wikipedia neologism) the situation.

Ah, thanks Eric. That explain's a lot. In the next version you can maybe can call it projected net income

. Reminds of a game, think it was Europe Universalis, where next to the official balance, you could also put some in you own pocket
