newbie question

[lynchED]

hi :)
i just play this today
and after seeing the wiki
is it possible to play it for free, forever...
since it seems everything using scarab,
which means if my scarab depleted, i can't grow anymore
even upgrade and found new city using it

or maybe i misread and misunderstand :p

Here's the instructions to play for free:

You have 10 scarabs.

You need a total of 6 scarabs to max your city to level 22. That's enough already to make it to the goal of the game => to build yourself a tomb and go immortal.

So you have 4 scarabs left to do whatever you like to do with them. One option is to spend 2 scarabs on activating the ability to build monuments that will give you a production bonus in your cities. If you take that option, you still have 2 scarabs left. That's enough to open a second city that compliments your first and build it to level 6.

And there's always the chance that you win more scarabs in quests. You can do them later in the game.
