Hello, after viewing the latest screenshots, I have question, or rather an opinion:

I see the dollar sign ($) being used to designate economic values - is this intended to be so in the finished game?

I mean, the strongest currency by far, and the symbol of monetary wealth in this period is the British pound (£), after all.

Is this a compromise to charm the admittedly large US gaming market to the game, or is it just that the developers don't think that the modern historical strategy gamer is educated enough to know which was the dominant world currency during the era and does not want to confuse him/her with strang symbols (or is it a combination of both)?
