But if i leave my port they take it easy

Are you losing wars, or are you losing battles?

War reparations involves giving up smaller ports

In the war itself you can't lose ports, but they can do a naval strike if you lose a port battle and lower the tonnage available in that port, potentially increasing your upkeep costs

Austria only has home ports, you can't take them when you win

However if you're playing as italy, they could take Corsica from you if they win

As for money, watch your various budgets, lower tech first, then transports then training, and don't always be building ships

If your ships are constantly being repaired, that too can cause you to lose a lot of money

Also in the events, it is worth to take a hit to prestige and unrest to keep/take money for navy. Like a "hard" choice of losing $300mln or taking 4 to unrest, or god forbid 30 reputation loss with a faction you are already at war. Hmmmm... so hard to chose LOL.

And always go for GDP increase not naval budget in the events.
