We ought to have some sort of bonus for late starters. You know, where every month or whatever since the version began when you start, you get a Management Center and X troops. This could also help people who get wiped out restart faster. We might have had something like this awhile ago, but I don't remember.

Yesssssss. I agree.
I really can't attack anyone. Everyone is either too huge cuz they started before or too small cuz they just did. Probably the same for everyone else who started late too.

Would I get a bonus, since I had a restart? Just wondering because mine was voluntary...

Sounds good. We could give them maybe 75% of the troops (too much?) that they missed, a Management Center, and maybe some project time and extra defenses. Does that sound like too much?

I was thinking just troops and a Management Center every month, as making a new person make up a whole bunch of defenses and projects right off the bat make it harder for him. How about money and iron instead of projects?

That sounds good to me. Perhaps some resources and troops as well. Maybe ONE small vehicle/defense... I really depends how far behind they are.

Perhaps you could choose. For example, someone who was 100 days behind could pick 50 days to all project slots and an extra one after that, as well as the troops and petals, or they could pick to have more troops and resources but get no bonuses to defenses. That would give experienced players and new ones alike a choice that suits them.

I think troops, money, some defenses, and Management Center is good. The first three could be increased for those arriving later.
Management Center should be capped at one to avoid overwhelming newcomers with too many projects. Before, we had players who couldn't come up with enough project ideas for their 6 project slots.

I'm with Hachi on the one management center. Maybe give them 3 free already done research projects done as well?

Have our admins come up with a decision on this? We have a new member, Jago Ballium, which is a perfect time to see how this work out.

We should take this to a close soon. Jago Ballium only joined about a week ago, so he's probably eligible for a bonus. Because of this, the attack on Jago's army can't start until this is done.
What I'm thinking about is giving newcomers 40/400 troops, 400 Petals, and a Management Center for each month they're behind. The same bonus is applied for each additional month behind, but the Management Center will be replaced by a bonus 40 days worth of defense.
