Finances broken?

from Stardock Forums
I am having a problem with finances playing the regular game. When on large maps ONLY (just started going to the bigger ones), I experience a drop from 0 to -500 in a single turn. It just skips over all the territory between 0 and -500, sinks me in a hole from which I cannot recover. I never had this problem playing smaller maps, but this has happened 3 consec times on the larger maps. I downloaded the update a few weeks ago and had finally become accustomed to the harder finances created by the changes and now this. Anybody else experienced this problem?

Are you missing an UP issues (like the pay for a big party one)? Are you building any cost to build modules (I forget at the moment what cost 500 BC in AP currently).

I ask because I have not been having this problem and I play Large maps.

Did you just have war declared on you, and lost all your trade? Lose a minor that was trading with you?

None of the above, but thanks for trying. This is early game when still in 'set up' mode. One minute I have 7b credits running a defecit of 25b per turn. Next turn I have -518. I haven't purchased any improvements and no new wars have started. (This info comes from the third game when I started watching really closely after frustration the first 2 times it happened.) It's like it skips from 0 to -500. It doesn't happen when playing small maps so remains somewhat of a mystery to me. Guess I'll just go back to small maps until AP is released.

Taxation may vary from time to time in the game without any accedents. But it ussually happens for 1-3 turns and then comes back slowly but it come back to normal.
Also there is an event like ...it says something about decrease in taxation... so it could be that.
Was anybody paying you a tribute or anyone asked for it?

Same as Star Pilot i never had tht problem playing mostly the larger games :notsure:

I find that often happening when I increase production or research capacity a great deal. Does this happen after you produce improvements for this?
