You´re not alone. Oh, I manage to get an income of around 10,000, no sweat, the problem is, what comes in at the front goes right back out for salaries. I´ve got some units of Chivalric Knights in queue for retraining, they´re there for about twenty years
One would think ruling most of western Europe, the baltic states and having ships all over the North Sea and the western mediterrean should generate some profit. And I don´t have too many armies, only at the borders, all the rest are one peasant garrisons, even at the borders to my allies (a dangerous thing, but what can I do?).
Were I in a similar situation in Rome, I´d have to worry on how to spend all the money, to keep my family members from going corrupt.
