Quick question: How do I rush the building of a unit by spending gold?

[diablodelmar]

I can't seem to be able to do it.

You need to enable the Democracy (at least I think that's what it's called) Government Civic. Then, in the city screen, the "rush with gold" option should be available.

the civic is univeral sufferage

 

[Pantastic]

The civic you need is Universal Suffrage, it's enabled by Democracy (or the pyramids). The rush options are in the lower-right side of the screen, above the options to pick a focus for the governor. If you have right-click menus turned on, it will also appear as an option when you right-click a city from the main map.

What does the kremlin do then? Does this mean that to benefit from the Kremlin you have to have those civics?

Correctamundo, though it's only one civic. You need to use the Universal Suffrage government civic in order to benefit from the Kremlin...which is probably the height of irony in this game.

A comment on Universal Suffrage and the secret ballot, as practised in Ceausescu's Romania in the 70s. Voting was compulsory for all over 21, with the possible exceptions of those in prison, insane, or bedridden. On entering the voting station the voter was handed a sealed and numbered envelope (the number being entered against the voter's name in the register) which contained a pre-printed vote for the only candidate for each post, such candidates having been chosen by the Communist (and only) Party. This envelope had to be deposited, unopened, in the ballot box. Truly a secret ballot: the voter had no idea who they were voting for !
