Why not give free turns for "achievements," like +6 turns for reaching 1k land, +6 turns for reaching 5k land, +6 turns for destroying 1 million jets...etc?

Let people EARN the turns, not just hand them out to everyone.


That's actually a great concept. you could have all sorts of achievements so people wouldn't necessarily do them all but some would fit their strat and some wouldn't... like achievements for tech levels, producing your first missile, land grabbed, civs killed, buildings destroyed, defends, spy ops, nw tiers, land tiers, military size, joining a clan, clan size, relations, joining/leaving gdi, uploading your advisor page, becoming a clan admin, starting a new clan, sending FA, etc.

hehe.

Why give free turns in the first place?

In the ancient days of BBS games, when there was only Unix, dialup and 486's, people would hog the phone line. Free turns encouraged people to stay off the line so other people could play.

Hah, but BRE and SRE didn't give free turns.

The free turns come from Mehul trying to save bandwith in the early solarianet days I think.
