What might be useful next wave is the following
the way UP is calculated changes.
You have your Base UP
which has the officers, the commander and whatever other bonuses.
Then you have your equaling server up
This is 50% of the top up (Base+ bonuses) which is either added every turn so 1/48th every turn, or once a day.
Now for the reasoning I would like to "unlink" UP costs
That means if someone starts 3-4 weeks later they have to buy UP starting from 3-400 base up and pay full value.
Now in terms of army sizes the top people should have an army, and the inactives should have a much smaller army.
And no one get's Cheap UP. Therefore the buy as quickly as they can, and then just have to figure out when is best to farm.
You shouldn't have any run away accounts, but at the same time you don't have accounts that log in every week farm for 30 mins, and log out and save their turns and go and take rank 1.
that's my plan at the moment.
