Limited Build-options and negative GPR

[graf zahl]

Hello, I hope this is the right forum for a small question.

In my last multiplayer game I had the problem that my large army was costing quite a lot gold and I couldn't build anything but units in my cities. That lowered my already negative GPR even more.

What would you have done in my position? My solution was to only build scouts and send them to the nearest CityState to gift them. But that seemed quite wasteful.

At which stage of the game were you at? If you were lacking building options, then you should select "Wealth of Research" since that turns the production into Science/Gold

I think speed also affects this, on Quick I have never lacked a building option up until the very end of the game, but even then i have never struggled, maybe because I'm playing on easier diffiuclty levels.

Unfortunately that wasn't an option at that time.
