While I think a no-coin economy would be a non-starter, I certainly agree that basic materials should be worth a lot more at the beginning of the game, and are more common and less valuable as the game goes on.

I've also come across this bug
It would be nice if you could have a 'load previous save' option if your sovreign died (ie YOU LOSE with two buttons - main menu or load previous save). This could be used in combo with autosave. I say this after frequent dyingness.
I had this happen to me as well. No error messages or anything. Have another debug
I get a C++ runtime error upon trying to load a game.
I'd go for the fresh parchment look, possibly with terra incognita or something written on it.
It would help the devs if you could give a rough indication of what you were doing when the crash happened.
I'm not even sure that the OP even read the article fully. People need to remember that the people writing these 'incriminating' emails are scientists, not politicians. The use of the word 'trick' is the biggest fallacy here. Trick in a scientific or mathematical context usually means a cunning argument in a proof or theory to account for some problem - in other words, the scientist had found a way to explain how global warming would still produce some cooling patterns. 
Banned because Holland is not a country.
Well they were off for Thanksgiving... new build is Thursday apparently.

Its not just a Diplomacy thing, its standard that you can't pre-order via PayPal.
I can't start betaing for two whole weeks [e digicons]#:([/e]
There wasn't a cut off for Entrenchment last time. With Elemental because the beta is so early (and so buggy) they didn't want people constantly joining and repeating bugs/suggestions all the time.
Possibly interested, but I'll wait for a few reviews first.
I would give you karma, but you haven't even got a picture
Good ideas. One thing I am not looiking forward to in the next beta though is this idea of choosing your next breakthrough (your scholars have made a major breakthough - choose the technology you wish to gain). It may work quite well but in roleplaying terms it's an absolute bomb. But that's what betas are for after all.
banned for nothing much
A lot of the problems are caused by people not by SD - crappy connections, rage quits and the like. They worked a ridiculous number of hours to get it stable for most people and to insinuate that they have done nothing is quite insulting. The devs are real people remember. Anyway SD is not the developer of the game, and while they did much of the online stuff they didn't develop the main game. Name me any MP game that doesn't have these problems in som
No, because you might be cooking the food later. Don't you hate it when there are so many forum games to procrastinate with?
these are also known as the modding tools, which we know are going to be in.
