After quadrillion comes quintillion. Either Glu would need to use more than one letter in its number abbreviations, spell out the full numbers, or start resorting to scientific notation. But even then, eventually scientific notation would be too cumbersome to display on a smartphone or tablet. Wonder what Glu will do when the time comes.
Agreed ... TIER 38 "Base Economy" Column #4 is the cost for TIER 39 Column #3 ... -- AND --
... TIER 38 "Player Health" Column #4 is the cost for TIER 39 Column #4.
This (in)consistency would indicate that it is by design, however. I would characterize it as a "lateral" move from TIER 38 to TIER 39 for the 2nd 1/2 of these TIER 39 upgrades.
This is interesting in the fact that this is most likely the final Defense Base Upgrade that we will be tasked with ...
... with no new Region or Player Health upgrade available, the game has effectively "stalled out".
Whether GLU has any plans to "jump start" the game again would be speculation at this point in time.
Expenditures of any type by players is strongly discouraged over the next week or so ...
... in the very least until TIER 40 (if and when) is released.
Complex Minds Require Challenging Games ... SCORPION

... We can expect a "cost rollback" starting in Column #3.
Originally thought to be yet another "glitch" now appears to be by design.
