Topic: Stop punishing the smaller families

If your in a small family, say three or four active players going for it.. Your p-count and nw is much higher per person than most of the higher families as your fam nw is spread amongst such a small player spread.. Where as the higher networth and p count families is spread amongst more players so there average is lower, with a much higher overall income..

Exploration is player size dependant..
As is morale loss..
As is building costs due to empires size
Starting rez should be split between family members more evenly, so if you have inactive players thier starting rez is spread amongst the other players there.. maybe not all of it but like say 70% gets reinvested into the family or something similar..

its just so hard for smaller families with a few active players to compete.. kinda makes it pointless...

i agree make those 'extra costs' full fams size/nw dependant.
this is one of the ways to easely create more copetition.

it removes the fun somewhat for eco planners though, cuz it would mean it doesnt matter who u jump ul grow equally annyway. only thing affecting jumps is the con of the person itself.

yep, the problem is, after 48h when you can kill em off, that small aid is almost irrelevant, you have lost the BoR advantage, but yea thats better than nothing.

Re: Stop punishing the smaller families

Indeed render, im not entirely sure the best way to go about helping slightly fix this, but its hard to do so.. Its just big players in small families ( most of pw's smaller fams )  are being punished vs bigger more player fams sad
