Heres a small suggestion.

Often one ends up with a few extra design points (1-20) after having designed ones nation.

This always irks me - after having design juuuust the pretender I want I look at those lost 14 points and think "uhuh, I am being suboptimal here... I've lost already!!".

What about a simple rule saying - each unused design point is converted into 10 extra starting gold (or 100 extra starting population). The one wouldnt feel that those extra points were just lost.

This would also allow funny tactics such as a nation with 0 scales, 0 point pretender but 5000 gold in the bank.

Cheers,
Thomas
