I'm going to keep posting the total incomes in the noob forum each turn, but I think I will stick to every 5 turns here (starting turn 10) unless someone actually wants a turn by turn total in this thread. I think it's definitely expected for the noobs to hold a strong early gold lead, and probably to maintain a significant advantage for a good length of time even if they do lose. The gold discrepancy probably would have looked similarly scary in the last game, not to mention the first.

Gem income is much more relevant anyway and the vet team seems to be closing the gap there. Of course you're still behind probably over 200 gems in total from the start of the game at this point.
