[Freeciv-Dev] The Money System

["Jonathan Scott" <noctua@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I very much like the idea of each nation having its own currency; 
the value of which fluctuating with the wealth and prosperity of the 
civilization.  And if that is implemented, I believe it would be quite 
fun to have a sort of "Wonder of the World" or Global State that a 
civilization could impose on other players to create a common 
currency (European Free Market, as an example).  Potentially this 
could hurt the weaker players and strengthen the one who created 
the condition; and, of course, it could backfire and the rich could go 
poor.  Perhaps it could allow civilizations to steal the cities of other 
nations by open trade and influence -- caravans now have the 
capacity of spies?   I don't know -- something like this could get 
complicated very quickly; but, then again, that is realistic, no?

Cheers,
Jon
