Recently I was thinking how hard it is to advertise a game like Elveron, free game etc. It can mostly be done through voting on other sites. But i think we should at least do as much voting as we can. I think that currently, 5% of the playerbase votes every day. Can we at least make it appealing/worthwhile to waste a few minutes of your life to vote?

Suggestion 1:
- Make the Vote!-link of another color. The color goes back to white once you have voted on every site.
- Add MPOGD back as 1 of the vote sites
- When one voted on all sites, change the text in something like: Thanks for voting on every site today! You have been rewarded with xxxxx!

Suggestion 2:
- A reward for voting. A small reward, that is nice to have, but not abusable. A gold reward is the most appealing, since gold = more troops or more buildings etc. It should be a small amount of gold tho, not game breaking. I was thinking about something like: 2.5-5% of current gold/hr after you voted on ALL sites.

In OOP: 30k eco approx.
2.5-5% = 750-1500 Gold / day

Midround: 150k eco approx
2.5-5% = 3750-7500 Gold / day

Late Round: 300k eco approx
2.5-5% = 7500-15000 Gold / day

Doesn't look too bad I think?

Another Reward
I didnt think too much about other possibilities for rewards, but lets say 1k improvement point per site that you vote on (depending on the amount of sites)

10 sites = 10k imp points a day (in kimps? rimps? both?)

Over a 28 day round (4 weeks), that is: 280,000 imp points
Over a 35 day round (5 weeks), that is: 350,000 imp points
Over a 42 day round (6 weeks), that is: 420,000 imp points

These numbers seem to me not big enough to make a difference, but also not insignificantly small :D

What do you say?

I agree that we should vote as much as we can and small reward can persuade more people to vote.

I would agree mostly with the imp suggestion. It would cause the most peer pressure. Maybe make it a % bonus like the AT's were.

Great idea!

But as I've proposed before, I think extra main hero turns is still the most substantial boost that doesn't impact the game too much.

This game is "REALLY" free, fun & challenging plus you guys/gals sometime crazy and funny post in the forum, we as the players should help sincerely. Free land bonus of 36 land per day. Change to 30 per day and you get extra 6 if you votes all the links within 24 hours. Some sort of warning how much time left to votes to get the extra 6 lands. Apart from the "Vote" thing, the how to attract new players to this game. (the more unactive newbies, the more ld gain OOP.) :-)

A side-related note :

The thumbnail/picture of http://www.mpog100.com didn't seem to load for me. Voting worked though. Anyone else had this problem ?

I am all for a voting bonus, but don't make it land. Being able to take the land bonus at any time is an important strategy. voting sites only let you vote once every 24 hours. But thats not once a day its literally 24 hours so if you want maximum land bonuses you would have to vote same time every day or fall behind other players.

Yes, agreed. I also thought about doing something with the land bonus, but it's impossible to do it 'fair'.

Bump again

Sorry for being annoying, but I think this is a very good and easy change to implement

This should give turns or a set amount of gold. Using a % of your economy will give bigger kingdoms too much of a bonus.

A land bonus will cause strategy problems.

Also make the bonus appear once a day no matter what time you use it.
