What's wrong with my economy?

[ruckel]

I earned 100+ each year, suddenly I'm -300 each year. Here's a screenshot

I have my army and navy maintenance as low as it get. I have 30k infantry and 15k horses and 10 ships. I have not produced anything for 1 year just to see if the deficit would go away but no. What am I missing?

Did you stop minting? Because it seems like you have 0 going to the treasury atm.

By the looks of your military maintenance bill (I've had smaller military maintenance bills as a 100-province blob!), I'd say you need to double-check what your land force limit is.

My land force limit is 51 units, I got 45. My navy limit is 1 and I got 10 ships, not sure what effects that cause.

This game i run with inflation off. I have not minted once since I started.

I disbanded my 10 ships, I did not know being over the naval force limit could cause such loss in money, however I was ten times over the limit, but 10 ships seems so little

So little yet so big

I think the extra you pay for being over FL caps at 400%
If you need a fleet but have very low FL a galley fleet is quite cheap and sustainable

What's wrong with your economy? you have no trade income

He probably never did. Bavaria is not a trader nation and can easily succeed with 0 trade income. Trying to trade without owning a CoT is just throwing ducats and/or slider moves and NIs away for them.

Another possible source of your problem is provinces changing religions (or if you changed national religion) due to the reformations as wrong religion decreases force limits and income.

why are you investing in naval tech? you should be racing ahead of time to land 18 to get the jump on your neighbours/rivals. also, you might want to upgrade your units while youre at peace. also, youre wasting magistrates-if you cant afford a building, spend them on cultural tradition for better advisors.
