'''Gold''' is one of the seven resources, and one of three basic resources. It is arguably the most important resource because it is needed basically for everything. The largest expenditure is troops, and another is town structures. However, gold is also needed to hire heroes, in several [[Adventure Map]] locations and to buy artifacts. Typically, Gold can be found scattered around the adventure map varying quantities (500-1000 units of gold per resource stack).
