I know there have been posts galore lately about finances and changes. I have tried to keep up and I looked around briefly on here and in the general forum. I don't seem to see anything new. Has something changed in the past 3-4 days regarding money? I have been really busy in RL and mostly just logging in my mains. Tonight, however, I looked at all my countries quickly. I know 2 have lost a substantial amount of money and are in debt. Both make a monthly profit. I did order weapons for them on Sunday night but have not even logged into the much since then.
How can I order 1T in weapons in countries that had more than 1T cash, make a profit every month in the countries, and 4RL days later be several T in debt?
Has something happened? If it is already posted on here somewhere else, I apologize. Just tell me to look for it and I will.
Zen.

it could be the problem I encountered where my countries were automatically ordering ammo, putting it into defensive garrisons that were under-supplied, ordering more the next month, etc.

if that were the case, it wouldn't matter if you were online or not. I wasn't online either but suddenly my countries starting buying large volumes of high quality ammo (and I suspect much of it was bought under "immediate" buying strategy which further increased costs).

to check if this is the case, you could empty out your garrisons (set to undefended) and see what kind of ammo you're holding. (I don't know of any other way to check ammo levels in garrisons)

if that's not it, I have no clue.

agreed with lolo as i have mentioned to others throughout the LU forums and to you over msn im sure as well zentrino, it basicly cost me like 60T and then i was supplied and it stopped sapping me dry you will get there to if u stop ordering more weapons and keep buying the ammo you need yourself at 100q instead of letting it auto order immediate 285q charging u 3-4x what u would pay for it yourself.

Which is why garrisons will always be masked from player scrutiny. Such lovely black holes.

You may wish to consider removing all garrisons until they are actually needed.
