Why medals start from 200 and not from 0

[atom3]

Is there a reason minimum quantity of medals to be 200 ?
And also it seems there are 2 unnecessary zeroes in all resource numbers

Bcz if starts from zero, how if one opponent attacked you? And, 5 starred with zero medal?

And to expand on The Prince - everybody would all still be on zero medals - there'd be none to win, ever. If anybody ever got 1 medal, they would be cheating.

Why 200 and not 100 moreover when you loose battle at 200 medals you dont loose any medals and you dont go below 200 but the game creates new medals for the winner so even if you were at 0 the mechanics will be the same your oponent will win medals and you will still stay at 0

And you forgot to comment on the second subject of mine about prices

Edit: i have a guess on my own for the medals one is that they made it this way maybe because they initially planned that you will be able to go below 200 and recieve a penalty if you reach below 100 for example but then droped the idea on later stage so only the 200 medal start remained or it is because it is easier to calculate for the game how much the winer wins when you start at 200 and not from 0

And about resourse prices they made it that way so it looks more interesting in a way, because if by hunting a deer you recive 31 food instead of 3100 it will look slow and overall not that cool but i want to hear your opinions

Theres a million ways to do this. This is the system they picked.
