Gold
From Age of Empires
Gold is one of the resources the player must collect for both Age of Empires and Age of Mythology. In Age of Empires III, it is replaced by coin. Gold is used for creating most units and upgrades and is a precious resource which becomes more important as the game progresses.

[edit] Ways to get gold:
[edit] Mining
Gold mine: Similar to stone mines. Not found in abundance on most maps. Usually found in groups of 2-6 in Age of Empires II, where each unit yields 800 gold.
[edit] Trade
Land trade: Use a trade cart to travel between your market and the market of another player to generate gold. The farther the distance between the two markets, the more gold is generated.
Water trade: Use a trade cog to travel between your dock and the dock of another player to generate gold. The farther the distance between the two docks, the more gold is generated.
[edit] Market (Not AoE)
Market: Trade food, wood or stone for gold.
[edit] Tribute
Tribute: Other players may occasionally tribute you gold as a reward for completing an objective.
[edit] Relics (AoEII only)
Relic: The holy relics found on a map are very useful, especially after all the gold has been mined. They can be picked up by Monks and to be put into a player's Monastary, where they will slowly gold to your stockpile. The relics are vital in multiplayer games. They are very valuable assets late in a game, as most units require Gold and relics provide a steady source of it. The more relics a player has in his possesion, the more gold is generated by them.
[edit] Factory (AoE III only)
Factories can be set to produce an infinate supply of Coin, as well as Food and Wood. It can only be built if you have a "Factory" card and are in the Fortress age or later.
