Extra Rewards
« on: May 11, 2007, 03:11:59 AM »

just a random idea I had when looking at the scores page...

Maybe we could have some sort of reward scheme for actually earning a high rank? Not exactly sure what but maybe extra income or something, it would create more incentive to attack those at the top and even more drive to actually get to the top, most people seem to be content with the top 10/top 15.

Maybe also a counter for amount of ticks spent at #1? just a bragging things i spose..

THe top people in the game already get enough resources they dont need any extra to give them even more of an advantage. I really like the idea of a counter for how long you were in the number one slot though.

but its kinda unrealistic  - who gets rewarded for coming last lol. I think that people will go for the top spots if theres more incentive to be there.

Wasn't it you got an extra amount of income per tick based upon how much less pop you had than the top player? Yeah, it was unrealistic, but it did help to ensure that people weren't at a disadvantage simply because they joined the round later than everyone else...

Made things quite interesting as well...

I don't think it helped people to take the top spots though...

correct me if i'm wrong.

No, but it helped new people catch up if they joined part way through a round... It just sort of speeded the initial part up where you're essentially just waiting for each tick's income to get some pop.

Didn't make much of a difference between the top players though, you're right.

actually, if the underdog bonus was something like 50 hawk for every 100k pop. more(applied for those that are not in the top ten to get the hawks). Like this: lets say someone was in position 74 with 500k population, and the top #1 had 1 mill 500k population, the person in the 74th position would get 500 hawks.

this would mean that every time their rank changes they would receive hawks, which is kinda pointless.
The way the underdog system used to work was extra income - which you could then put in to units or population, which ever you wanted.

and i was saying that two hawks or one scavenger/nemesis would do absolutely nothing, since you need at least 50 ships in a group to attack
