Note that developers will tweak some of the game parameters to get it better balanced. Also, researching interface is slightly changed (better, faster, newer).
Original announcement:
Upcoming App Reset (Test mode)
As mentioned before the next app reset will be a test run for tuning and rebalancing gameplay on App server due to the problems with a non-ultimate units server.
App Server starts: march 9th 2006, 9 pm
Some details:
Reset will run in normal time frame (1 turn / 15 min), 3 months
Research as normal
Some new features from beta
slightly modified interface for research page (easy research mode)
options page
New features
Global messages (mainly for admin to keep players posted about ongoing changes)
'Old features'
Black market will return to 30 minutes time frame for displaying stuff for sale. (3 hours preview will be removed)
This way we hope to reward more active players and reduce the influence of high ranked gelders.
You will have to deal with changing game settings during the reset as we will change values to balance colors.
We will need a constant and constructive feedback of players to evaluate done changes and plan new changes.
