Whatever really, I was concentrating arguing the point about having the ability to negatively handicap, but having one slider from -100 to 100 would make sense, just as long as its clear that the +ve numbers mean a bonus to resources so we dont get noobs like you complaining we're giving you a disadvantage when really we're making it easier for you ^^BlackLiger wrote:Why, as AF pointed out to me, should we make it 2 sliders when we only need 1.

Im thinking itd probably be best to let new players get better and develop strategies based on a normal un-handicapped start, rather than them having exess resources all the time.
I know thats the way id want to learn anyway.
Most new players dont even know what it means too, Ive had some guys shout at me for giving them handicaps,
"Hey! its not good enough that your entire clan and its 100 hour stars are all on one team, you want to handicap us too? screw this, see ya losers!"
At least if you could negatively handicap a star player, the term "handicap" may make a bit more sense ^^
To keep everyone happy, and to avoid confusion over the term "handicap" there should be a slider or whatever for 1- 100 bonus and 1-100 handicap that the host can use to give to any player of his/her choice.
wow that was long, I was gonna stop after the first paragraph ^^
