How do you get any gold income in these mods?

[Dunadd]

I was playing Age of Erebus as the wood elves and had a gold mine and a gem mine, both connected to my capital by roads, plus a second city, and was still losing 2 gold a turn net, and had to sack my only castle commander unit to even turn it to plus 1 gold a turn.

Like in vanilla civ4, most tiles don't give directly gold but Commerce, which can then be turned into gold, science or culture depending on what you focus on ( with the top left slider, if you're at 100% science, that means all of your commerce is turned into science, not gold). There's a few buildings that give direct gold, Market is one of them

Ah right - thanks! - I haven't played any Civ games in decades. Sorry for the dumb question.
