The Gems resource, on the other hand, provides more Gold if worked. Resources: All luxury resource tiles yield Gold when worked - most of them 2 Gold, some 1 Gold.Many - but not all - Natural Wonders (See Natural Wonders for a list they usually provide more than 1 Gold, with Cerro de Potosi being the most abundant with 10 Gold.).Rivers ( Gold is provided by all tiles that border a river, with the exception of mountains.).These tiles each yield 1 Gold when worked:.Note that Gold yield isn't found on the most common terrain types! To earn Gold from the tiles around your cities, you must have Citizens work them. The land is the main source of Gold.and for some time, the only source of it. For a list of possible bonuses and penalties to Gold income from cities, see below. On the other hand, gold earned (and lost) from trade agreements, or from incidental sources such as Ancient Ruins, is added/deducted directly from the treasury, without being subject to bonuses or penalties. The same is valid for the income from trade routes in Brave New World. Note that Gold is usually earned through cities, rather than directly for example, all terrain yields are added to the city output, and subject to additional city bonuses (or penalties), before being added to the treasury. Gold is earned in a variety of ways, and is added to your imperial treasury (after deducting current expenses). Unlike in the real world, where currency has become the preferred representation of wealth, in the game, gold has sharply defined functions and isn't nearly as ubiquitous as in real life.Īs with other main stats in the game, gold is counted in single units, which for obvious reasons we will call coins.

Gold, the currency (not to be confused with Gold, the resource) is the standard money unit in the game, and as such serves a number of purposes, mostly related to trade. It may be true that 'money can't buy you love,' but it can purchase a nuclear submarine armed with nuclear missiles, and that's not bad. Gold is wonderful stuff! You can use it to build an army, to pay for a road network, to purchase buildings, and to bribe an enemy civilization.
