I playing already on Immortal. I won several times on lower diffculties but many times I had gold problems.
I try few times now on immortal loading the same map from 4000 BC and I bankrupt around 200 BC
My gold per turn is -25
I was huge bag 700 gold from ruins / neutral cities discovery but it to small
I trying many things: build roads - fail: I payed more than road give me. Last time I play without any roads but I go bankrupt too.
I have 4 cities. (5,4,3,3)
I have 9 military units (but 2 scouts) , few (~7) workers and 4 cities. My unit costs 23 gold per turn. Buildings 8 gold per turn.
But AI attacking like crazy each time I loaded someone attack me last time I defending from Chyngis-Khan with 15+ units and in middle battle second AI declare me war and came with 10+ units too.
Probably I won military aspect if try hard I can do many things and usually other AI attack me and only one at time but I must build marketplaces and caravan (trade routers) and cant build units to defending because I must build uselles marketplace or trade routers. They kill my trade routers over and over AI or barbarians. My trade routers no long to take save cities because all time other AI attack me and kill my routers. On South and East I have water so cant go send there caravans. 2 left directions are on war most time they kill my caravans. Most time I have 0-1/2 trade routers later 1/3 trade routers but I cant build caravans over and over it cost me more than miitary units I cant win fight with AI if I not build units because those caravans/marketplace and where time for other important buildings.
How is possible play in this game when I lose gold each turn ??
I am forced to build marketplaces but 25% from 0 gold from my city = still 0 gold. My cities are small 4-5 citiziens. (5,4,3,3)
Other lower diffculty games I won and have gold problems too but usually after road connected all cities + marketplace + max trade routers give me around 0 gold/turn so I not bankrupt. Sometimes I was even +100 gold/turn but in late AD with banks and 6 trade routers. But on Immortal I few times bankrupt I dont know what to do I not have yet this tech with trade outpost but anyway its 1 gold from each and small cities not rising working on this. And I build this trade outpost usually only on jungle because 2 blue bubble with univercity and this outpost not clean jungle or on other terrain max 5 trade outpost per city. But I never build this in BC because I just started rising my cities and trying grab some units to fight. Whats wrong with this game. Lose because lack of gold ? This game is broken.
