I was playing on Prince Difficulty and fairly ahead in technology(about 4-5)
Is there something about his UB that makes him so rich?

It might just be a HUD glitch, but I'm not using any game changing mods

I can't help you but I want to add you because of your nams

trade roiutes bnw ramses has wonders and trade route buffs from connected cities

It's a glitch of some sorts. Fairly obvious one, he's only got 336 Gold. If he was getting 4000GPT you'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥

The most gold I've ever gotten was 5,100 GPT~ with the Cara. Mod, where every one you built gave an extra trade route. It's quite literally impossible to get that much GPT on vanilla trade route count.

I've got over 2k hours. I can't imagine 4k gpt on prince level for any AI. Something's wrong.

It's literally quite possible to get that much, and more, gpt without mods.
Though his game is showing bugged amounts.

The most GPT I've ever gotten in vanilla was about 1,800 GPT~ with venice. Although my army was fairly large and I had built all the buildings in that game, the maint. wasn't 2.2k GPT. If you can show me a screen or way how you could be getting that much GPT on vanilla, then I'll believe you :U.

Trade, traderoutes, caravansories for incoming trade routes, wonders, golden age, low expenses. 4000 gpt isn't that hard to get.

ATTACK! Go get his money!

Was Egypt able to continue geting 4000 gpt or was it just that one turn?Its quite possible the game is counting the gold from aborted buildings/units/wonders towards gpt.

AIs *love* spending all their gold in one turn so its very likely egypt just took all that gold and bought a couple of buildings/units with it.

Well.. impossible is a strong word.. I'm sure you could get close when you near the modern years with enough cities and connections (trade routes aren't the only ways to get gold). I've gotten a few hundred before in playthroughs (notably only ever reaching Industrial before I get bored mostly).. and if you look at the other player they have 136 gold per turn.. and who knows how well they're doing in comparison.

Well I mean.. if you have enough years.. it should be very possible (Venice while great on trade routes.. is going to do poorly since they can't found their own cities.. which in their own turn can offer positive revenues).

This was probably the reason, because it went down to 70 GPT the next turn, but why would the game count gold from that kind of stuff?It just creates confusion.

(Although it turned out to be some silly mechanic, it still created an interesting discussion on the potential of GPT)
