Suggestions:
Start with a fixed amount of resources in the universe, which sets up a
basis for competition.

It is my opinion that profit-loss concepts exist on a level associated with
individual players, but cease to exist on the level of the game universe as
a whole; similar to the conservation of matter-energy, so the conservation
of resources.

Also, the value of any given resource to a player might change due to
strategy or tactics. This is something I enjoy: "Which is worth more to me:
three tanks, two jets, or five troops?" and ideally, I would like the answer
to differ according to my current situation, or plan of action.
