Just a question,I am not sure about this point:
You lose the game, when your monthly costs will be greater than your funding,or your monthly costs will be paid from your cash and you lose when you dont have cash anymore? :blink:
I never paid attention to my monthly costs before.... :whistle:

All that matters is your monthly ending balance.

For instance, if you have 1000 Engineers in 8 full-fledged bases, that's a HUGE bill at the end of the month, way more than funding, probably. But as long as those engineers are making lots of laser cannons for sale, and you sell the cannons, then you'll be fine.

Example:
Funding $10 million/month
Expenses $50 million/month

Means that at the end of the month, right before the funding screen pops up, you need $40 million in the bank. If you have less, you begin the next month with a negative balance.

If you have two straight months of negative balance at the end of the month, game over.
