Appearance(s)	Stick War Stick War II: Order Empire Stick Empires Stick War: Legacy

Gold is the main resource in the Stick War series that lets you to train units and research technologies.

However, Gold is absent from Kill the Spartan. By most standards, the game isn't canon, so Gold still appears in all Stick War canon.

Gold deposits

Stick War

In the Original Stick War, there are 4 lines of gold patches, the one being closest to the statue is referred to as the first row, the row after that is called second row and so on. The last 2 rows are in the center and both sides have to fight for the patches of gold.

Stick War II: Order Empire / 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. 

Stick War: Legacy

There are 4 gold patches on each side, and there are only 2 on your side in endless deads.

Obtaining

Stick War/ Stick War: Legacy

Gold can be obtained from one of the following actions;

1. Mining gold, a miner will swing his pickaxe on a gold deposit and once his bag is full, (this can be seen on a bar above him, although you must user control him to see the bar) he will move behind the statue and deposit his workload.
2. Passive income from the statue (the crown can be upgraded to increase the income of gold).

Stick War II: Order Empire / Stick Empires

Gold can be obtained from one of the following actions;

1. The first is through mining the gold piles itself, which is the most efficient way
2. Collecting gold from the tower, which gives 20 gold every 5 seconds
3. Researching Passive Income, where you will get a slow, fairly low amount of gold & mana every few seconds.

Function

Gold is used to train every unit throughout the series. It also helps in researching almost every technology. Miner Walls and Miner Towers.
