Again... gold is the way the people who make this game make their income... whilst I`d like to be able to buy it, the game probably wouldn`t be able to sustain itself if you could.

Hi, I agree with Cyanide, many other games has this option.
@Machiavelli: i'm lvl 373, i gain 17-18 bilions/week, and i use my money to increase in mission (currently below the equator)....no to increase my army....i don't have many friends so i must buy new ones to complete missions. all it's relative... ;-)
