So I was thinking.


When you're running tag you want people to be as active as possible in their countries. Meaning you prefer them to login multiple times.

Right now our bonus turns are based on the fact of NOT logging into your country. Maybe we should turn that around. Let's say if you login twice a day with 4 hrs in between at minimum (To avoid abuse). You gain 3 turns if you login three times with 4 hrs in between you gain 6 turns or w.e

It would motivate people to play more often?

The point of the bonus turns was to keep people willing to camp their countries all day from having an upper hand. Now there is a trade off. Or maybe the point was just to preserve Mehul's bandwith... but in any case, I like it as is for the reason above.

But what does the person who camps their country all day really gain for an upper hand? Only thing I can think of is being able to keep an eye on a live market. Which you need to have money to buy cheaper goods and sell them for a profit. Is camping your country for 18 hours a day equal to 6 extra turns a day? I don't know, but I don't like it currently. Because my schedule does not fit well with the 18 hour wait each day for bonuses.

I assumed it was for the second reason of preserving the bandwidth. Although I have no clue how much bandwidth a text based game takes up.
Other than Earth Empires I also play Battlefield games:

what player can do in their country after they've spent daily turns? for example techers could of tech bit more but that'd have only slight change to their income or stocks (same thing with cashers they could cash turns but it wouldn't affect much either to their income or stocks).
