A friend and I were playing CIV3 PTW the other night and noticed a curious circumstance. Nearly through the Ancient Age, I began to have some trouble making money. So, I adjusted my spending accordingly, setting up some cites to produce wealth, while at the same time, adjusting the production sliders to make more gold. Well, it helped a bit, but didn't bring me out of the red and soon, my bank account hit ZERO! I was losing over 100 gold per turn. But then, nothing! No warnings of city improvements or units that would need to be scrapped or sold to balance the budget. Nothing. Every turn, I would still get a message telling me that the treasury was getting low, but then no penalty. I was playing the Japanese. I called my friend and told him about this phenomenon. He also set his slider to 100% science production and nervously watched his treasury diwindle. Again, no penalty for getting to zero and running at a loss. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

I'm not really sure if this is a common phenomenon, since I've never been careless enough to let that happen. But anyway, it might be something that's fixed with a later version. What version are you playing? Also, make sure that you are actually researching science - it may say you are but no new techs are being learned.

It will tell you your money is low, but will not sell off improvements if you go into the red.

Another possibility in some patches of PTW/C3C (don't remember which ones) there was a bug if you were trading and getting GPT from the AI. You could literally be running hunders of gold deficit but the bug would actually ADD gold to your acocunt every turn. It's been fixed, but that's a possibility as well...
