How should be gold spent?

When your almost losing and you need to build / produce something ASAP

The best way is to not use any so you won't be bothered by this problem.

I just spend it on resources...

I would be glad if you could share your personal experience or ideas.

But the times that I have used gold are almost exclusively on the All Countries, All In event. Every single time, I use it to build buildings that I otherwise wouldn't be able to.

I only use gold that I earn from victories or achievements.

Personally, if you have all the blueprints it’s up to you after. I only use them for things such as rushing a nuke or espionage. Usually in combo, such as reveal all armies followed by a nuke or more to their stacks.

I just use it lol I’m stupid probably don’t do what I do don’t me a mad man at spending when ever you get gold.

You should use them to produce units fastly at the beginning of game

light tanks , artilleries or tactical bombers produce them and attack fastly your neighbours when your neighbours start to cry at newspaper '' he is gold userrrrrrr I'm dyingggg '' everyone will afraid from you and noone will attack you result of production you will grow faster than others

As gold is a very rare resource you should use it wisely.

How NOT to use gold:

- If you are losing then golding units will only postpone the enivetable.

- To buy resources: don't use gold to buy resources, don't use money to buy resources. Adapt your army to your economy and sell what you don't need to buy what you need. Be patient, you can't do everything at the same time so prioritize.

- Don't use gold to get spy information as it is very expensive, regular spying just works as fine.

How to use gold WISELY:

- To gold that airbase: you need an airbase so it connects your network with your allies so that they can fly in help. You can't afford to wait for hours for the build to be finished as you are getting wrecked.

- gold fortifications: if a big battle is coming up gold a fort just before you get locked into melee combat. Your enemy will lose more units than he thought.

- To sabotage an airbase: Your enemy only has one forward airbase and it's level 1. If you sabotage it with only one click that airbase won't be operational anymore. If he only has one forward airbast than your opponent wont have any airbase within his range to where he can refer. In that case those bombers that are killing you will return to that airbase and change into convoy units.

- To gold a last minute militia or anti tank just when you are about to lose an important city where you produce units.

I think the option to spend 9000 gold to see all of your opponents armies is quite nice.

That cost is out of proportion. Its 2,000 gold for finding out 1 province but 9,500 for finding out hundreds of provinces. That's what I call a deal!!!

I mean you get gold for watching ads now so not as rare as before. Still the reveal all armies is especially nice when you have nukes.

If you know how to use spies then with five spies on military sabotage you can reveal all armies at day change with a succes rate of 70%. And that's without using gold

Imagine the noob golders spending a million gold on what they could do for 9500/

It's boring AND expensive to use gold when you are losing for health increase or unit production.

I've found it to be more beneficial to use it VERY early in game to boost economic production in my core urban centers.

Boost morale up to 100 on day 1 right when you join the game and you are producing 1000+ of each resource.

I did it in a current game with just the 10k gold I got from the video ads and it's paying off tremendously!

I won't use gold any further in the game though because it is boring to me.

Each capital that you take gives you a 10% overal moral increase. Meaning if you attack two small AI your economy will be at 100% and you will get two extra cities where you can produce troops as a bonus.

Isn't it intel spies?? Just wondering

Spies on intel will intercept private messages from other nations, show the diplomatic stance between players, the level of their buildings in the provinces where spies are active.
