I can assure you all, there were no posts on English language Discord that would account for the changes that we saw this month.
I remember discussing the steel (basic tier1 good) needed to plant Golden Abyss. I am steel boosted on Win, my map brother is planks. We unlocked GA on the same day, I planted mine, he had to wait until next log in for a trade. This might have been over Christmas break, so I really do not think that we are responsible for the changes, considering that this occurred in July 2016!
This was in response to something someone else said. We took it as referring to the general imbalance new players may be experiencing at present.
Every time something changed significantly I planted a new city to test things for myself to see if new players really had to come begging for good from more developed players. I planted my last city 6 months prior to the introduction of the new tech tree (wee me on Beta). At that point my # of cities had hit double digits, and I had a little talk with myself. The point is, the answer to the burning question is a resounding NO. No they do need to come begging unless they choose to join a performance fellowship. They can still play the way I did, grow their cities from scratch. Better yet I have help found two new servers, EN3 & US8.
Will I trial it again? No. I remember scratching around for gold and supplies, it's nothing new. The only concern that I have is how late the new players start tourney, but then again, maybe ... it should unlock with chapter 4 scout, or be a single research after it (not one of 4 or 5).
The problem may be, that we are handing out goods to newbies, and not letting them develop to stand in their own legs. So one came to Discord to complain that their 1 star trade offering tier3 wasn't picked up fast enough. Shocking, right?
