Re: increase in new account stats
yes, the personal turns thing could help out a lot... giving them a few k of those would make things easier for them (and make more stay), while not risk multies in the same way...

The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

yes the personal turns idea was a very good add by admin and i agree it wouldn't affect having more multies if they where personal turns

Maybe give a new account 500AT's that cannot be transferred, i dont agree with handing resources to people when the start to boost them, as they never learn the game,
Good idea, heck give them 5K AT (Non transferable) to start with.
Agreed. Turns instead of naq or UU. With the turns they still have to build in order to use them effectively and get the most from their free 5K.
The more the new player learned ingame, the more he could reap from those 5K

Seems like the best idea to me!

Re: increase in new account stats
I say give them 10K (the max) to start with. Then do not allow them to start generating AT until every one of them is used.

Even better!
(this idea actually helps out with another game suggestion being discussed right now too >>>>)
Then the server could delete the newer, abandoned accounts faster! If a player didn't generate turns in one month, they would be deleted?
I'm just partial to deleting old abandoned accounts of people who played their ass of!

If the account has SS on it it needs to be vacated not deleted.

actually, better would be till 90% of them are used... otherwise they could end up with 1 at left... 90% would mean 9000 used, 1k left... if they use that many, they'll most likely know how to use them properly...

I can go with that, but you can still burn 1 AT LOL
Start at 15K? then its even, should end with 0?
hahahahahahahahaha
OFC, this is explotable to an extent. You could send resources to a new account to have them mass someone with those turns,,,,, but honestly 10K AT are so cheap that"would it be worth it"?

I was poking fun mate, yes I agree 10K (The max) is a perfect amount.

I think more AT would be a fine start then. Would make things easier.

Re: increase in new account stats
10k seems a bit much as if they are shown by others how to raid properly they can quite easily get well over a million army size in a day or to, i no thats not very big but then when we all started we had to work for weeks to get that, i think we will end up with alot of new accounts growing very fast at the start then they run out of turns and realize how slow this game is and quit, thus making a flock of slightly bigger abandoned accounts, i would say have less turns and just provide them with supers and lifers so they cant be raided away or sent off to other accounts
