Next helpful hint... STOP USING GOLD FOR DARNED MILITARY UNITS. (well, at least until your land purchases are done and you have your skill points balanced out well...)
As I said above, use that daily bonus of three gold for land purchases and SKILL POINTS. It makes a huge difference in the long run if you add those extra skill points into your stats. Every five days you can get five more skill points, (costs 15 gold to get 5 skill points, you get 3 gold/day bonus). Don't waste that gold on units till later when you have all the land and skill points you need, (or never STOP adding skill points).
Get spare military units and equipment with honor points and oil! Yes, those fancy gold purchased, kick ass units look good and have one heck of a wallop, but three or four of them don't equal out to 40-60 extra attack or defense points spread out over your whole military.
p.s. if you are purchasing gold, wait to make big purchases till you are into the European Campaign. The bonus mission, "The Carpathian Castle" earns you a BAT. That little fuzzy winged creature gets you a bonus of 50% extra gold ONE time when you next buy it, (i.e. if you buy $10 worth of gold, (normally 70 gold for ten bucks), now you get 105 gold instead). So save your money till you can get that little fuzzy critter and it's bonus.
Wish it were a permanent boost... it would increase gold sales tremendously.
