Financial trouble

[zuzim]

I was wondering exactly what "Financial trouble" is and how it works. I understand it has something to do with running a deficit economy, but more than that I don't know. Does it also take into account how much money you have at the moment? For example if I lose 10 gold per turn, does it matter if I have 100 or 1000 left? How about spending money on promotions for example, does that count as deficit? Is there a difference if I run +100 GPT but spend it all on promotions, or if I run -100 GPT but make up for it by capturing cities and selling techs?

Also, I don't really understand what "cult" and "rate" in the Revolution Index refers to. These effects always seem to appear together sometimes when I build a library or religious building, but then suddenly they can go away. It would be nice if someone could explain this.

I hate to post in this thread, but I was wondering if anyone had ever found out what Financial Trouble exactly meant? Or how the math works out for it exactly.

It's not a secret, you just need to know where to look.
