Gold Bug?

[TimothyRulez]

I'm generating +400 something gold or at least that's what it says. At the start of each of my turn, I gain like 20 gold.

Hmm, could be a visual bug. Does it still show +400 gold when you hover over the counter to see more income details?

[TimothyRulez]

Yep, still shows that I'm making like 500 and losing 100 for expenses.

Do you use mods? Have you former used mods?

[TimothyRulez]

Nope, never touched mods.

A spy is stealing your income.

Sounds like either a visual bug or a hell of a lot of spies siphoning gold

That or sending all of the trade routes from one city.

A spy is stealing all your gold from one city . You need to figure out which city, figure out how much gold is stolen per turn, and match that up to a city that makes that much gold. MAKE a SPY and put him in that city to catch the spy that is stealing your gold.

Also don't send all your trade routes from a single city, unless that city doesn't have a commercial hub.

Spies steal gold per turn, it's extremely annoying. They also do lots of other annoying things. Spies are critical in this game now just to prevent them from sabotaging you.

If you are in a close space race, they will pillage your spaceport with spies. They will steal your works of art (thankfully the most difficult thing for spies). And yes, they can siphon a lot of money. I think they should Nerf the spy to make it harder to siphon money, because they seem quite successful at it and even counterspies can fail to stop itfor far too long and it can really cripple you, especially in a war. There just aren't enough ways to deal with spies.

It does get buggy when you do deals that give regular payments to AI. Sometimes these accumulate in strange ways and your income disappears even though you can't see any reason for it to do so. I stopped making gold/turn payments to AI for this reason and never had any problems since.

I have sent a bug fix suggestion to Firaxis [it's easy to see in their code that they coded it wrong by the logic of the code] After about a week or so of back and forth emails; they said they were looking into it. It was a little more vague than that; but, you get the idea. All they had to do was switch a == to a <=.

The Espionage Gold Siphon Bug fix could be fixed just like that.
I've posted about it several times.
I've yet to learn how to properly get a mod to work. I'm a dinosaur.
