upkeep question

[Saladman]

Apologies if there's a thread for this, I couldn't find one quickly.

I was sticking in a losing game* so I'd get my unit production for defense, and I can usually take my turns quickly. I started a turn though and about half my units in most of my cities were gone, without any (relevant) battles recorded in the battle history. I should have had more than enough gold to cover upkeep, but is unit upkeep subtracted before you get city income? That's all I can think of that could have happened, but it seems pretty stupid. If so though, I should have actually resigned several turns earlier to optimize defense against the guys grabbing my territory.

Saladman,

Armies do not disband due to lack of gold. You can be down to 1 city with 32 men in it and no gold and you won't lose any armies. So if your armies are gone it's not from lack of gold.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally miss a turn and lose those armies in battle the turn before? If that happens, you won't have any battle report due to missing a turn.
