I'm playing a group game with a couple friends, and every so often I seem to lose all of my gold for no apparent reason. I'll be saving up for a couple weeks to make use of the treasury, then i'll suddenly have about one day's accumulation worth of gold.

It's hard to pin down exactly what's happening right before it resets because i'm often not paying attention to the gold count until i go to buy something, but it seems to happen after I lose a city, but not every time. The last time it happened was right at day one of the new week, so maybe the treasury is glitching out?

Anybody else seen anything like this? Or lost gold for any reason other than actually spending it? (I've played the game extensively but not for a while, can't remember if there's anything in the game that can cause you to lose gold without choosing to spend it on something) I lost over 200,000 this last time, putting it around 500,000 over the course of this game and I am becoming rather vexed with the situation.

Which of the five games, first of all? And are you playing some special scenario which has some storyline which explains the gold loss?

Sorry, forgot this is a forum for all the games. It's Heroes 3, and there are no special scenario rules. It's just a random map my friend edited to add a bunch of stuff into. The only rules he messed with are the one that allows campaign heroes and the one that lets you find fully assembled relics.

late reply and very likely unhelpful but the only gold bug i recall was having too much gold (due to treasury) that it exceeded what the game can hold and thus flips and causes you to end up having negative gold. this really only happens by a combination of playing for a VERY long time and having 1 or more treasury.

this can be avoided as you near max gold by simply converting excess gold into the other resources via market
