Why?

I think it would be interesting to not have money until you've
researched currency.  No selling of buildings, no buying of units.
Lot's of possibilities for different gameplay there... if one of your
opponents is war-like, you have to have some units in reserve because
you wouldn't be able to build them quickly, or delay getting the
republic because you have to research bronze working and currency...
