1382: Castile conqueres the world and has no money

[Izo]

Granada is now a vassal, conquered a huge part of Marocco (yes, Fes), Navarra is a fiefdom, part of Aragon conquered, almost all of Portugal annexed (yes, Lisbon and no, no Iberian wedding), conquered the SW part of France
I know about control, proximity, roads, bailiffs, food, markets, city rights, trades...but I earn a mere 32 D/m. I don't understand what I am doing wrong (I watch videos and people earn a lot of money), clearly there's something I am missing, can you give me some advice? Thanks in advance

Territory =/= income

That's what a lot of people don't get. Income doesn't go up when you acquire land. It actually goes down until yoy make that land profitable.

You have no income unless you control the lands. With 0 control you only pay for the buildings without earning anything back, meaning you ARE LOSING MONEY.

Use the CONTROL map mode to check which parts you actually have and which are just waste.

Raising control to normal levels can literally take several centuries. It is usually more profitable to release new lands as subjects.

territory === +amount of loans you can take because estates gets richer

amount of loans === money

steady increase of available loans + (amount of loans = Money) === territory === income
