Team Gold
Team gold is a sum of gold for use by the commander. Unless there is no commander, players can only use team gold for repairs; a commander can mark buildings that cannot be repaired if he wishes to spare the gold. If there is no commander, players can use team gold as a builder or conjurer to place buildings or perform repairs. Commanders can also use team gold to employ peons.
