Gold is the mundane resource of Dominions. It is used to recruit troops and commanders, to build buildings (forts, temples, labs), and to pay for province defense.

Each turn, each of your provinces generates gold based on its population, modified by its scales and unrest. Forts give a bonus to income in their provinces.

Generally, units purchased with gold cost a small amount of upkeep each turn; slaves and sacreds cost less.

Gold is a critical resource early game, as it's needed to build infrastructure and recruit troops. As a nation achieves better research, they'll have more ways to spend their gems, and thus gems often come to eclipse gold as a valuable resource in the late game.
