This is something that happened in RTW2 and it is very stupid, after a war end budget reduction can easily throw you into negative numbers without anything to do as the player. I do not think this is bad, however getting hit by a prestige removal is unnecessary. For example I just lost 5 prestige points due to ending of a war throwing my budget into negatives...as if it is my fault for winning the war.

You are the Naval Admiral of the Fleet, the responsibility for the fleet budgets is yours and yours alone. Whether you win or lose a war, governments are going to make someone pay for the expenditures. For navies, it is you. Sorry, but that is the way it works in real life also. As soon as a war is finished, I begin to put many ships especially submarines and battleships, heavy cruisers etc.into mothballs. Reduce your fleet as fast as you can. Becareful of your ships protecting your possessions, leave them. This usually works for me. Also reduce technology expenditures and training. Close air bases that are not needed. Also, put bomber, dive bomber and torpedo bomber squadrons on reserve along with a few fighters, leave enough fighters to guard the air bases. Leave long range flying boats active to continue scouting. |

Post war, you probably need to send much of your fleet into reserve-you won't lose 5 points in one turn, so you need to rapidly demobilize post-war in most cases. If your budget has a negative balance you will start losing prestige until you are sacked. So unless you lost 5 prestige in one turn this is not a bug-if you did I'd be interested to see the message report. |

This is suggestion how I play but there can be other ways.
I usually have about 1/3 of yearly budget as reserve during peace and as war is imminent I start to blowing the budget if I do not have enough ships. But still during war I have some reserve for unexpected so after war ends I have usually at least 2 months reserve, enough to reorganize fleet, return to home and scrap, mothball or reserve the fleet.

Yes I lost 5 points in one month  Reason is simple, peace event budget reduction happens before budget calc, so if your side sings a peace and you are running a small margin, the collapse of budget puts you in like -8.000 triggering the prime minister being angry and morale plummeting. It was also something that could happen in 2, at least is not the first time that happens to me. |
