-Inflation is wrong, IMHO.  Instead of the loss being

-	gold x inflation / (100 + inflation)

-it was before.

	Speaking of inflation: Say inflation is at 50%.  Does that mean 50%
per TURN, or 50% per YEAR?  Somehow it feels as if the inflation code is
calculating inflation on a per TURN basis, while the reproduction code is
on a per YEAR basis...
