Hi, I'm sorry im no good in English.

There is a little bug. When I played this game I had these amounts of gold (ordered by time):

9.98e71
9.99e71
1.00e71
1.00e72
1.01e72

It is problem with displaying only, I think.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Rasto.

It is caused by rounding probably, I think.

when numbers are:
(1st column: real value; 2nd column: displayed value)
9.99e71 = 9.99e71
1.000e72 = 1.00e71
1.001e72 = 1.00e71
1.002e72 = 1.00e71
1.003e72 = 1.00e71
1.004e72 = 1.00e71
1.005e72 = 1.00e71 or 1.00e72 (I think that 1.00e72)
1.006e72 = 1.00e72
1.007e72 = 1.00e72
.
.
.
This issue is in transition from 9.99e72 to 1.00e73 too (displayed 1.00e72).

that's not rounding, that's truly wrong by a factor of 10.
but i think it's a display lag only and what you see is not what you get. i.e. that first 1.00e71 is really 10.0e71 or 1.00e72 and it's something I discussed earlier in chat today I believe with someone else.
My contention is that since they use letters prior to the scientific notation range, and letters represent a range of a thousand, or 3 decades, that they scould actually use engineering notation and not scientific notation when they reach past c.
i.e. 1.00e69 to 999.0e69 instead of
1.00e69 to 9.99e69 and 1.00e70 to 9.99e70 and 1.00e71 to 9.99e71

What about this idea?
After 'c' could be:
xa, xb, xc, xd, xe, ..., xz, xA, xB,... xZ, ya, yb,... (or another chars instead of 'x' & 'y') ;)

no e69, e72, e75, e78... would work cause that can go as high as possible if ever needed, but has to be implemented correctly as there appears to be something currently not right there.
