Less gold per turn after "hurry" in Democracy

[King Alexander]

I ALWAYS have my gpt decreasing significantly when I buy city improvements in the "normal" Civ3 game, so I only play scenario's now(the ones the game itself makes randomly) . I have the latest patch for Civ3. Could anyone give some advice on why is this happening? I know that city improvements need maintenance costs. The scenario's seem to be MUCH more balanced when you do that.

Sorry, if I haven't read a topic that already explains this. If so, can you give me the link?

How much gold did you have to start with? If you had Wall Street, it gives you interest based on how much gold you have. Say you're making 50gpt with 1,000 gold. Rush something for 900g, and you're left with 100 (5gpt).

I had Wall Street and enough gold(above 10,000) in that scenario. My problem in a "normal" game is that when I buy something (in Democracy), my then current gpt never comes close to my older rate. It is as there is some sort of "gold corruption" that punishes you and lowers your gpt pretty much. I wait many turns without "hurring" and my gpt is significant lower. In scenario's that doesn't seem to happen(at least for me); it is more balanced(e.g. my gpt drops only for the maintenance cost of the building).

Thank you for your explanation. But, even when I reach my "old" total amount of gold, my current gpt is significant lower than before and this doesn't seem to happen in scenario's(I could be missing something that I don't know, anyway).
Thanks again.
