Empire of the Sand

First off, this is a great game. My only complaint is that it's to grindy. It takes forever to get 500,000 gold at the start. Maybe reduce it a bit, or allow incremental payments?

Second, it crashes here:

```

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
