Just wanted to post my own impressions and overview of my time with the alpha so far. I am sure some (many?) of these will have already been discussed by others and may not even be relevant to current development but still... Issues -- If I rush a project and then proceed to cancel it in the same turn I lose all the money used to rush AND I

^^ I totally agree...the $99 is a good price for myself considering I would buy all the content on release anyway (by the way it seems currently 4 expansions are planned with 6 minor DLC's the first year and 4 per year subsequently as long as there is interest according to info posted on the steam forums) .

But as a Core part of the Main Game Flow ? ..... Not happening.
