The situation I`m Poland everything is stable. My army has to recover 10000 manpower until my army is full again. I checked everything wich costs me money and makes me money. I still come out with +0.30 gold. Yet I still lose 2 gold every month. I really don`t know what to do just feels like the game is bugged but I don`t belive it is.

What are top bar finances

Top of the screen where the amount of ducats in your treasury is listed. The tooltip will tell us everything together witb a screen of your finances.

First guess without knowing anything would be trade. HRE minors pull like mad.

Those 100 men (it will actually be more like 300-400 with a nation like Poland) can still cost a lot, especially when it's cavalry. Put your army maintenance slider at 50% to see the difference.

You are only showing the mouseover, not the finances tab, but if you add up those numbers, you get an accurate -1.85 ducats. Keep in mind that the mouseover shows you the costs and gains from LAST month, to give you an idea what to expect THIS month. The -.21 ducats monthly loss is indeed off, but in my experience, it's because the refilling of your army isn't properly included.

Nah it`s not over 200 men cause I pissed off the aristocrats. But since when does the finance tab not count in the men wich you get in the next month.

Save game, exit game, reload game, reload save game.

Other than that, i think reinforcement on low maintenance can do that sometimes.

What happen is in this month there are regiments that doesn't need reinforcing anymore, while in the last month they do. That makes the difference in reinforcing cost between the two months.

-1.71 per month paying war reparations. Has that bug been fixed or is it still around?

Edit: link
Edit 2: I decided to go ahead and test it. The bug is not fixed, so this is what your issue is. War reparations expenses are not counted in the displayed monthly balance.
