Gold is the main resource for units and upgrades in Stick Empires. Each side has two rows of gold, the one being closer to the statue being referred to as the first row, with the second row being referred to as the second row of gold.
Description
Each side has miners to mine gold for their side. The miners will walk up to a gold deposit and swing their pickaxe. Eventually, they will walk back to the castle and the player will have 75 more gold at this point and repeat the process of mining the gold.
Uses
Gold is used for every unit in the game along with every upgrade and research. Gold is also used for building Miner Walls and Miner Towers. Everything available for purchase in game requires gold.

Trivia
Gold resources from the opponents side of the map can also be mined, although the gold return takes an extremely long time, so this is more of a humiliation tactic than useful. (Often miners will try to mine the gold on your side when you tell them to mine enemy gold as they think it is closer, the miners need to be very close to the enemy gold supplies when instructed to actually mine them.
