I doubt it, you get to choose if you make a city a trade or production centre. And using my Dutch logic I would say that only trade centres give you money. I could be wrong ofcourse ... tbh most of the time I am wrong

You are wrong.

Castles still provide you with money, just not as much.

Some of the screenshots posted show cities and castles with 10 units in each of them and none of the settlements are making below 1000 florins. Most are in the 2000-3000 range.

Upkeep costs = too low.

Forts do generate money

But relatively little compared to Cities

Edit: Too late

In that case, let's hope either one of them was an old screenshot from an earlier version.

if you look beyond that description bar on the right there's about 10 different units of cavalry if you count them.

i dont see the point of having polish knights, there are only 2 differences between them. the first one being the fact that the polish guard have 2+ armour, and the second one being in the abilities at a glance section, the knights have may charge without orders but the guard dont, only for an extra 100, id gt the guard anyday, its like praet and urbz, the praet cost "slightly" less but urbz have 2 more missile attack and 1 more attack and 1 defense.

most images i've seen of polish knights had them equipped with an open-faced bascinet helmet. if a 'polish knight ' unit was included in the game at least make it look different.

also the lithuanian cavalry needs to be redone. mounted lithuanians used javelins and carried pavises for defense.

I've compiled the unit stats for known M2TW Polish units here:

If you ask me, i would choose Polish Guard over Polish Knight anyday.
if you look closely at the ability at a glance section we can determine that:

for only an extra 100 florins you can get the same knight with 2 extra defense and an improved stamina rating (which is important), Stamina will determine how quickly your unit will become fatigued and you can upgrade the defense but you cant give abilities so yes polish guard

and i also forgot to mention that the knights may charge without orders :P

I noticed this: http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/pol_hussars.jpg

Hussars
The first Hussars are thought to have been Serbian nobles seeking refugee in Hungary. The tradition of hit and run tactics of the Hussars found a fertile home in Hungary where they become influenced by the Magyars and the Uyghur Turks. Very fast, these elite lancers are equipped with light mail or brigandine armor and armed with...

Can somebody explain this, please?

I know that Serbian nobility and ordinary people emigrated from Serbia to Hungary after Ottoman conquest in 1459, but Hussars and Serbs? I only heard and little read about some light cavalry called “Gusars” in time of Depotat (first half of XV century), but my data are really obscure.
