Negative 15,000 gold

[Creepy Old Man]

Askia is sitting at negative 15,382 gold right now. Seven turns ago, he gave me 9,134 in a peace deal, and he's got +78 gold per turn. How does a civ go so negative in such a short time? Is there a bug?

Because Fireaxis was too lazy and/or inept to code actual decent AI so they just decided to make it cheat.

If you pay him a visit, he'll be in plus again (hey don't worry... he's not taking it from you^^)
