#1- Even if I spent a thousand dollars on this game, I won't be too far ahead of the rest, as it takes time and effort to use the money effectively, and you don't just buy back your army. You rebuild it, second by second, or waste cents on the napoleon diaries.

#2- It doesn't require money to get ahead. Time and effort make for great substitutes.
I'm pretty good, and never spent a cent.

#3- Without having a money system, how else are they gonna pay for the misleading ads?

#4- You can win a lot of speakers on amulet. I've won 2,800 so far.
