Financial Problem - Help!

[lemonhead75]

I have spent the past few days trying to play a successful game as The Mamluks. I always disband my useless fleet and never expand my military. I don't mint. But I lose money no matter what I do. It is like it's impossible to be financially healthy. How can this be happening?

keep your navy, just turn the maintenance down. Also, arent the Mamluks a large tribe? you should be at war constantly anyways, so beat up on your neighbos constantly and take all their gold

Get a MoM and mint, that normally solves my problems.

unless you mint. your military costs have to come out of your census taxes(january 1) If you look at the expenses in the research area they are mostly paid out of trade income. If you mint(put treasury slider to right) to make up the difference you will get inflation unless you hire a Master of Mint Advisor. Hire at least a 4 star one if possible.

Even with rich nations you will go broke unless you mint. That is why National Bank and MoM advisors are so useful.They allow you mint and not get inflation.

Inflation is BAD! It makes the cost of everything go up.(regiments,ships,buildings,Stability levels,Tech Levels)

Also you can reduce military maitenance if not ar war.

If you mean you're losing money monthly, it's because 100% of your monthly income is invested directly into research unless you mint it. You are meant to rely on yearly census income.

If you mean you're losing money yearly, then you are doing something really wrong if you did in fact disband stuff and still can't pay the bills.
