There are usually one or two civs who are a bit behind in tech and spending all they can raise to try to keep up so they rarely have much gold as a lump sum or gpt to trade with the human. The Ai tends to either do rather well or fairly poorly with India so unless they are a tech leader in a particular game they are usually spending all their cash to buy techs from other AI civs.

Ive always thought it should have been Indira Gandhi .. not Mahatma, Gandhi was never really that interested in power, it was his ofspring that were, and still are today, all be it half italian, and not particulary popular in India.
Although saying that, in many ways, I think Vajpayee will be seen as a great leader in the future, taking India into the 21st century, modern day India is hardly cash strapped (look at the worlds richest men, there are more Indians than Brits).
India only appear poor, when you spread the wealth amongst all its citizens, of which 70% are not participating in the economy in any major way .. spread the wealth amongst the 30% remaining, and you'll see that India's middle classes are increasingly well off.

When conducting diplomacy with India, it is very hard to trade with them. Why? Because they usually have 0 gold in their treasury! It's like Gandhi took a vow of poverty!

Why not ? Some secret stuffs seem to have been implemented. Perhaps are you going to say that I should stop eating very special mushrooms, but beyond the common features of each civ (expansionist, commercial, scientist...), it seems there are some hidden characteriscs.
For example, in all my games (PtW for several months), Egyptians keep beeing awful warmongers in the Antiquity, Americans keep breaking treaties, Mongols keep dominating their continent, so do the Iroquois, Corea keeps loosing all the time. It's really strange. I remember that in civ2, same phenomenons already happened, with a lesser importance.

Poorest civ: India 
Richest civs: Egypt & Korea 
Most agressive civs: Russia & Mongolia 
Best ally: Greece 
Most backstabbing civ: Persia 
Strong early, weak later civs: Aztecs & Zulus 
I just can't recall a game where Gandhi was rich! Maybe I'll have to pay closer attention to those lists that the historians make every so often... |
hi ,
what setting do you have , small map , distance between civ's , starting points , level , etc , ..... it all has an impact (!) , ....
have a nice day

That's interesting. In most of my games, Gandhi's usually rolling in dough and building up his nuclear arsenal. In one of my first games, I absent-mindedly sold my only supply of uranium to India in exchange for 250 gpt and a lump sum of 1500. Later on, they ended up nuking me, capturing half of my cities, and getting all of their gold back. The moral: never sell Gandhi any uranium.
