	Science and gold Got spare money?

Hello
I´m new to CTP, and have lost my manual. Can somebody explain the connection between science and gold to me? As I see it you need to produce both gold and have a high science-output in your towns to get new advances quick?
Also, when I´m finished building a unit, the population in that town decreases, for example from 5 to 4 for a few turns..is that a bug?

..from 5 to 4..you mean a settler or sea engineer or space engineer?

I would see no reason that your POP count decrease..UNLESS...per chance your city ran low on food..then it would possibly be a coincidence..

But yes in regards to moola..GOLD..the more gold you make the better the science rate is..

I do not believe however that if say your on CAPITALIZATION that contributes, HOWEVER..such thinmgs as mines on mountains and making sure your cities that have good gold have gold enhancement improvements such as Marketplaces,Banks and Televisions..just make sure they are a decent size..say 5+ then the improvement will pay for itself..


But yes make money make science......

No Moola No Make Progress...

Yeah, now that I think of it the decrease seems pretty logical. Thanks for your help

Gold is important. All gold colected minus wages( pop size* slider number), minus upkeep cost is then multiplied by the science slider ratio and that goes towards your science. Also a city can "collect" science ( place a worker on a sea tile) by hiring scientists or certain improvements help. If you click the science button on "screens" you'll see how much your civ is generating. If you click the "city status" screen you'll see how each city is doing.
