[Summary] - Increasing the fairness of coin and supply production in regards to the cultural bonus
[Details] - Make the coin production be calculated per minute or second and simply add on top of the previous amount and not change the whole amount when the culture bonus changes.
It would be easiest to explain by telling a little story. A player who is part of a fellowship gets most of her buildings polished in 2 hours before she logs on after sleep. So in that period she goes up from no cultural bonus to 150% cultural bonus. When she logs on she gets to collect all her coin (9 hours worth) at 150% value even though she only had that bonus for 2 hours or less. Now what if the reversed happened. A players houses were producing at 150% for 7 hours and uncollected, but available, she would pick up less from her houses after 9 hours of sleep than she would have after 6 hours (if active) due to the culture bonus dropping. The same could be said for supply production in the workshops.
[Reasons for implementing] - Increase the fairness of the game no matter what time zone a player (or that players fellowship members) is in.
[Impact on other game features] - Positive - Increase the enjoyment of the game.
- Negative - Possible increase in the resources the game uses resulting in poorer performance in low end pc's.
