I actually already included a mechanic in my stater proposal to allow tweaking the numbers once they are already set, without completely changing all of them. I don’t mind your interpretation, but it will result in a bit of redundancy as is currently.

Sure, but this is regarding setting the initial values from empty to a valid number, which your starter proposal does not cover. If you can be more specific about the redundancy, I’m happy to adjust it.

Will this cope at all with new joiners, who’ll arrive after the first production of resources and therefore can’t really harvest?

I missed that there was a condition that it had to be done with empty domains, my apologies. That’s what I get for glancing over a proposal.

SB,I believe that you can harvest even if you have no set domains and will get nothing out of it.

No apologies necessary. I’m glad you’re looking for holes and redundancies. Let’s make the most of the 4-hour edit window.

@SB: the biggest problem with new joiners is the fact that others will have been accumulating resources since the beginning, so you’d really want to look for a catch-up mechanism.

Alliances may mitigate this, since an Alliance might want a newcomer to specialize in something that the Alliance lacks, and that could be the newcomer’s value-add. That Alliance might sweeten the pot by promising to pass the mantle to the newcomer if they join and the Alliance wins.
