Well more gold just means you can build more castles to be able to build resource intensive units. Also in most cases in the late age from what I've seen a ton of gold just isn't a replacement for resource-heavy troops. Sure you can throw tons of no-armor troops at heavy infantry but they are going to die in droves, especially if you've got good archery support. With all the crossbows and whatnot in the late age you pretty much need the heavy armor to stand a chance against massed archers.

IIRC, different ages have different amount of resources in the world. Did you notice the gold surplus in early or late age? The starting terrain also factors into this, as C'tis probably starts in a swamp or fresh water province or something, while Ulm starts in/near forest/mountains, and Agartha in mountains, etc.

Once you have a sufficient number of castles you can't have too many gold.
If a Ct'is player spend all his gold on 1 ressource troops instead of making forts, he must rush all other players fast, or one of them, making 10 castles then spending his gold on 30+ ressources troops, will destroy him . I think it's balanced as it is.
