Look all the economic changes have gone too far!

And it is not only at the higher difficulty setting!

Last night I loaded up a game set on E.

I had just sent about 6 stacks and strong fleet into India in 1775. I had been making 105000 per turn for about 4 turns.

What do you think I was making after the patch?

-56000! And of course with the AI aggressiveness upped the next turn Russia, a long time trading partner declared war. After destroying the fleets which interdicted my trade and needing troops in the new area, but not daring to build them… I was now netting -66798 and that was after taking two regions in India.

Started two new campaigns as GB. One Easy and one VH. The AI was a bit more aggressive in the VH but otherwise all was the same!
