If you look at the cities' income you'll notice the amount of money greatly exceeds the upkeep costs of both the Navy and Military. Also it should be noted that those are only some of my cities, not all of them. Shouldn't I economically making coffers of money per turn?

It's like the game is back to MTW2 or RTW times where there is only taxes and trade, the entire region wealth system isn't being included, rather its being shunned and its discouraged in investing in region wealth. Is this a bug with patch installation or with the patch itself? Although some of you seem to be enjoying this level of difficulty, I'm pretty sure CA never intended for this to happen.

Edit- Math Time!
If you add income for the regions (is it including tax?) listed we get a wopping 116,186 per turn!

Now added to the already listed income of 60,025, you get 176,221.

Then minus the expenditure of 55,200 and I should be making a profit of 121,011 per turn.
I may be wrong, I don't remember how it was pre-patch (never bothered to examine it closely), but perhaps you're only supposed to get your cut thru taxes. Increasing region wealth would increase the amount of gold that a 22% tax (or whatever) would grab for you.

I'm not good at math, so try this: for each region, calculate how much of the region wealth the tax is (like Vilnius, find out what 20.8% of 6920 is) and see if all that equals the tax revenue listed in the national summary.
