Gold is not used to purchase units or to maintain buildings. Unlike many MMO games, the gold in Evony works differently. As you upgrade the resource plots more workers will be required, but you will produce more, and have a bigger surplus in which to draw from. Each resources plot takes a certain number of citizens to work the plot and will produce resources constantly once the building is made. To build these plots you also need population to make them work so be sure you have enough cottages to support your efforts. When you click on the city icon at the top of your screen you will find the plots where you can build these resource buildings. You have five main resources including gold, food, wood, stone, and iron. Without enough resources being produced by your city, you cannot train troops, or build any buildings. In the MMO game Evony, your resources are very important to maintaining your city.
