ok you make an account get so far through and think hmmmm i wouldnt mind using a different route... how about an option to reset your id, like delete would take 24hrs to take effect but then you keep the same name id and what not. it just resets you to the standard for a new account.

I think it's a good ideea. I had a sort of similar thought in the past but with a few more options.

At delete you should choose if you want to delete or just restart.
If you choose to restart you can select one or more of the following options :
- Keep current ID
- Keep current name
- Keep all generic techs developed (geos, hack, spy, engineering, tractors,combines)
First 2 i doubt many would be against. And for 3rd i think it's fair to give a very small advantage to somebody who already put effort into the round and decides to restart for whatever reason over somebody who starts fresh.

I support all the two first suggestions, and I don't really see how keeping the generic techs would be very unbalanced. Only problem lies in how techs influence your score.

i also agree with above ones, but i also think to make it instant isnt the best option...but currently its just insane how many time you need to wait before you can make your new id...so id sa make it like 8 ticks delay or so which leaves an eta 5 mob to get the full attack ticks so you cant just go and delete when someone hits you (once again) to prevent them from getting land

I thought it's 10 minutes at the moment... or is that just for < 10 land or something? Only took 10 minutes when I deleted an ID :-/

only for 10 land or less i think as you said. After that it depends upon your amount of land/score or something like that
