+====== Gold ======
+{{:abilities:gold_generator.png?nolink}}
+**Gold** is the mundane wealth resource of Dominions, measured in **pounds** and kept in your national **Treasury**. 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 [[province|provinces]] generates gold based on its population, modified by its [[scales]] and [[unrest]]. [[Fort|Forts]] give a bonus to income in their provinces.
+Gold is a critical resource in the early game, as it's needed to build infrastructure and recruit troops. Compared to Gems, though, its value starts to dull a bit as nations advance in their magical [[research]]; over time, nations will find more uses for their Gems, but not for their Gold.
-Generally, units purchased with gold cost a small amount of upkeep each turn; slaves and [[sacred|sacreds]] cost less.
+By the way, gold prices for units on this wiki are listed next to this symbol. -> {{:misc:gui:gold.png?nolink}}
-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.
+===== Income =====
+Each turn, each of your [[province|provinces]] generates gold **Income** based on its population, modified by all [[scales]] except Luck and Magic and [[unrest]]. [[Fort|Forts]] give a bonus to income in their provinces.
+See [[province-attributes#income|Province Attributes: Income]] for a more detailed description.
+===== Upkeep =====
+Generally, units purchased with gold cost a small amount of **Upkeep** each turn. Yearly Upkeep (over the course of twelve turns) is normally **80%** of the unit's price, but it's **40%** for [[Sacred]] units and for [[Slave|Slaves]], and it's **20%** for Sacred Slaves.
+===== Trading =====
+Gold can be sent to other players in a multiplayer game and can therefore be traded for [[gems | magic resources]], scouting info and [[Items]] (particularly those which are inaccessible) or used for racketeering. Gold cannot buy Gems or Blood Slaves in a single player game, however the Mages it can hire may boost your Gem and Blood Slave income. On the other hand, Gems //can// be converted directly into potentially worthwhile amounts Gold, using [[Alchemy Spell|Alchemy Spells]] and a Mage trained for the role, preferably a well-[[items#magic-boosters |boosted]] [[Alchemist]] using the ??Alchemist's Stone??.
