• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Suggestions to increase late sign ups?

In agreement with your points No-Dachi, I also quite like your addition. :)

Another addition could be the implementation of a safe period. Say that new players who start after X ticks have passed gets a safe time of Y ticks where it cannot be attacked, for instance 432 ticks (three days). This safety is breached if the target hits the "tech all" button, or if the target attacks a non-bot player. This will allow them to build up a bit before they are raped, learn the basic of attacking, teching, planting etc without being landraped senseless. Apart from removing a few targets from the odd guy restarting I fail to see how this would hurt anyone.

So long as that's mentioned in the tutorial (maybe have a section that only appears to late starters?) I think this isn't a bad idea :)
