Gold per turn

[yoyoyo5]

Hello all, i apologize if a question of this type has been answered before. For some reason, i'm making around -9 gold per turn, and can't manage to increase it beyond this point, and it just gets lower and lower. What's causing this? I tried getting rid of some workers, but that didn't work. And all of my opponents are poor and wont trade any techs for gold/turn.

Explain a little more the situation... like, age/government/level of difficulty.
Maybe the newbie questions thread should be the place of this question.

Look at the domestic advisor screen (F1) at the upper right corner. There are two sliders to increase or decrease science or luxury spending. Decreasing either of these should increase your net income, as indicated by the box in the upper left-middle box where it tallies your income and expenses.

You should also build roads wherever your laborers are to increase commerce. Get out of despotism ASAP.

And as gugalpm points out, this does belong in the newbie questions thread.

Just a few things that are guarenteed to get your gpt up:

- Lower your science/luxury rate if possible.
- Road every used square in your territory.
- Build marketplaces in major cities.
- Switch to a commericial government---Republic or Democracy
