advise for the novice

Ok I have been following most of the suggestions here and in my lastest game I am kicking the crap out of everyone but I am running out of money. Any thoughts?

You should be more factual...

As soon as I have money in the game I spend it! Caravans are always my salvation.

Well I Have more cities then I care to count every wonder that is can be built at this point. I have a Monachy government (I am kind of partial to being king). There is 4 of five other Civilations left most of them them still working on leaning to write and devoloping the wheel. The year is about 1700 ish. I Have more then enough troops to wipe out everyone on just a couple of turns. I was hoping to work on the cities to get them going better and I just keep runing out of bucks.

My opinion: (needn't be correct)
You have a huge army, it means you prefered it. You cannot have everything.

Maybe you have to lower science rate temporarily.
Do you have roads on squares where citizens work?

OK as I said Novice so go slow here. What do you mean by roads on squares where citizens work. I got a buncha roads in my more devoloped area and I am working on a rail road to connect my cities.

I am wondering if I shouldn't stop my city building and build a buncha caravans

See the city window, you may set squares where citizens work by clicking on minimap - upper left on the city window.

Yes you are right but I was getting bored just wiping out archers with my higher level troops.

Are you rush buying everything? If that is true only do it when its nearly completed, saving you some money, not time though.
