First impressions, ideas, a few bugs
This game is excellent! I'd even go as far as saying it's what every "age of ___" game should have been. I decided to try out the multiplayer recently with a friend.

The more players buy, the more expensive they get. Deleting your units (to free up pop) doesn't kill them, but adds them to the global slave/merc pool (you get a small amount of their non-food costs back). Likewise, 10% of all kills adds units to the global pool.
