Gold Mine

“There's gold in them there hills!”

Description

• The Gold Mine provides Gold for the player.
• All the Gold Mines are found by clearing Forests, except for the third one, which must be bought with food.
• The time to replenish increases every time you upgrade your Town Center.
• The Gold Mine has a chance to produce Metal every time you collect from a mine.
• The Hanging Gardens wonder reduces the collect time by 50%, the regeneration time by 20% and increases the gather amount by 20% once placed in the wonders radius.
• You can use Crowns to prospect Gold Mines early, allowing you to extract Gold from them at once.
