I had a black sorceress desert. OF COURSE, I had no units at all. It may be that you pay the commanders first, or something.

Are you positive? Did this happen recently? It would be interesting if this was indeed true.

... what? What does it have to do with clamming or morale 22 units?

Maybe I should test it again, because everyone seems positive it shouldn't happen. I could swear it was a desertion, but I suppose it could have been old age that I missed.

I am unable to recreate the loss after 40 turns without money. Must have missed something...

Well even if it yoinked your income away, think about a situation where you know you're going to have negative upkeep.

You can stash away money using this trick. There are a variety of applications.

Another nice trick with negative income is this - set all your provinces to 200 tax for a turn to get money to hire more commanders. Hire the commanders and set the provinces to 0 tax rate. Next turn, set them to 200 and repeat.

Various problems caused by dom3 not tracking debt but always reducing you to 0.

Just another way for you pretender to be an enourmous prick to their people.

hehe seriously. You'd think that the average dude might try another religion after I stole his two virgin daughters for sacrifice, turned three of his dead uncles into zombies, conscripted him to go into battle with just a sling and no armor, then "forgot" to pay him.

Yes, but you can tell he's a God because he:
A)Has a massive bless effect(but also causes all the people to be lazy)
B)Makes the people work really hard (but is actually a big wimp)
C)Can take an army by himself (while crapifying everything else and/or after absorbing the economic and magical output of the whole nation for several seasons)

hehe those are some good points. I read on wikipedia that Kristoffer Osterman of Illwinter teaches religion and social science in Sweeden. Those have got to be some interesting classes...
