I don't see how it makes a difference whether it says $100 or 10,000 next to the nation's name in the ranks list... to me 10,000 is a bit better because it's more impressive sounding, and doesn't break the fictional reality by bringing in real-life currency "$".

Please feel free to ask questions about AC or anything else. This is an AMA.

Hi! I worked primarily on user interface and tools. I designed the user interface primitives, programmed the character creation process and many of the panels, inventory system, readabe books, chat, etc. I worked closely with Chris Foster (UI designer) and Zach Shukan (UI artist). I also created several tools that were used internally, such as a "Dungeon Creator" that allowed designers to make dungeons by placing pre-made tiles on a grid map, and a "palette editor" that made it easy for artists to create different colored variations of the same clothes, armor, etc.

I was greatly saddened to hear about your passing, Asheron. I want you to know I had nothing to do with it, and if I could keep you alive I gladly would have!

Yes, after about 1 year of hearing variations on that joke ;)
