Great game design, however, it completely requires a player to spend a lot of money to stay above water. There seems to always be players willing to do this and they just roll over everybody else. I think a reasonable round would require no more than $5, but this isn't the case. I'm playing one match, my last with this game, in which one player is spending constantly. There are two coalitions that have joined, 9-10 countries (players) total, to take out this gold giant (who is not much larger than the next three countries attacking him) and we are getting nowhere. I've watched him rebuild his cities and units right after I strike them. I've watched stacks of units spawn up from cities I'm about to attack. If this player(s) is spending gold on this round it is costing them over $100. I'm done with this game.
