Most of these include getting what you want, faster. Outside of that, gold can be proactively spent in any number of ways in Civilization 6 to bring about any number of favourable results for your empire. Standing costs such as unit and building maintenance are a constant drain on your finances, so beware having too many idle units sapping your gold resources. This last provides a tremendous economic policy that can be slotted into your chosen government type to provide a 100 per cent boost to the gold yield from buildings in the Commercial Hub district.Įasier than earning gold, is spending it. This is particularly true of early-game technologies such as Animal Husbandry and Irrigation, which allow a great many luxury and bonus resources to be worked, as well as civics like Medieval Faires and The Enlightenment. As well as standout picks such as the Foreign Trade and Guilds civics, and the Currency and Banking technologies, there are many research options that offer less well-advertised bonuses to your gold income.
It's win/win (except for the barbarians, but it's either them or you, right?). Clearing a barbarian encampment will offer a handful of gold and may also curry favour with a local city-state or leader making them more likely to trade with you.
