Game Info[]

Luxury resource.

Strategy[]

Gold Gold is a "classical" luxury resource, a bit more common than Silver Silver and found again mainly on Hills. Accessed with a Mine, Gold Gold boosts Production Production and Gold Gold. Its main benefit, however, is that it allows construction of the Mint, a bonus building which grants an additional +2 Gold Gold on the tile! This benefit is awesome when there are multiple sources of Gold Gold and/or Silver Silver in the city's territory - in this case, a single building boosts Gold Gold production greatly.

Along with Silver Silver, Gold Gold also benefits from the Religious Idols belief, which grants additional Culture Culture and Faith Faith on the tile.

Civilopedia entry[]

Gold is a soft, shiny and malleable metal, and it has been prized by men and women throughout history. It is a rare metal, and its rarity greatly adds to its value. Although it has some industrial and medicinal purposes, gold is used primarily as coinage or for decorative purposes, adorning jewelry, cups, utensils and the commodes of the super-rich and powerful.
