        There are several ways.
        1) Select terrain that doesn't give you as many shields.
Hopefully, it will give you some other resource to compensate.
        2) Build buildings and sell them.
        3) Build units instead.  Caravans, Diplomats, and other non-upkeep
units are useful in many different ways.
        4) Get in more wars.  You'll lose enough troops that replacing them
will suck up any spare production you might have.
        5) Don't use Gold to accelerate production.  Let things finish
themselves naturally.
