Skill Tree[]

Each level you gain (upgrade you make) increases the cost of the upgrades by 10 gold. So if Health up costs 500, and you upgrade your Mana up, then the next upgrade to your Health up will cost 510.

Since the Gold Gain traits are additive and not cumulative, each upgrade will require ten times its cost to break even. The first upgrade costs ~1900 Gold, meaning that until ~17000 Gold has been subsequently acquired, the player is in the hole. It is a long term investment that will earn itself back in a few dozen generations.

Weight upgrades: increase by 50 gold each level up.
