Hi

Skanderbeg person here

I'm not really sure what you're looking for tbh... but...
Open the save in notepad++, use extended search: 'TAG={.\t\th' (assuming the player was there at the end of the session, alternatively try changing the letter to a or g) to get to that country's data object, then search for "totalexpensetable"
You'll see a list of digits, each representing a category of expenses.

Only how much you spent in total is stored NOT how much you earned.

Order of the digits

Let me know if you had any other questions.

well, i am really quite surprised that a person of your knowledge answered my post.
i am really delighted and thankfull.
That is exactly what i am looking for. Albeit i was looking for how much the Lubeck player (tag =HSA) gave in subsidies, gifts and loans.
i was trying to search for it with the old manual way (not using the
TAG={.\t\th
since i didnt know what i was supposed to do.

Please tell me what should i be typing in instead of
TAG={.\t\th
when searching for the Lubeck tag HSA.

thank you !
 
It's.. there though?
Indeed it is, but what I meant was gifts on a country basis, as in, HSA sent that amount of gold to Poland and HSA sent that amount of gold to Brandenburg for example.
Not just that HSA sent this amount of gold in total.
Can that be implemented in Skanderbeg so that Poland and Brandenburg actually see what HSA has sent over the years to Poland and Brandenburg ? (I am stating the example of Brandenburg and Poland as an example, usually more than 2 countries are on payroll from my HSA)

Not really possible without tracking the changes in savefile with each year unfortunately
