See below for additional changes:


1. New formula to determine starting land and money.

The death/reset bonuses have been revised. The main difference is now the game looks at how long your tribe has been alive for. The longer you live, the bigger the bonus. This is stacked on top of another bonus determined by how much of the age has passed.

Land
Old formula: 500 + 1.7 * ticks_elapsed [+20% of your old acres back if killed as long as that doesnt make you bigger then what you died at]
New formula: 500 + ticks_elapsed * 1.5 + [ if died (old_land * 0.1 * (1 + 2 * ticks_alive / 672) ]

Money
Old formula: 3,000,000 + (70000 [+55000 if killed]) * ticks_elapsed) * race_starting_money_mod
New formula: 3,000,000 + (ticks_elapsed * 1.5 * 40000) + [ if died (old_land * 0.1 * (1 + 2 * ticks_alive / 672)) * 50 * ticks_elapsed) ] * race_starting_money_mod



2. Self destruct prevention

You are now unable to demolish your homes below 2/3 of your maximum. This measure was added to prevent people from demolishing too many of their own homes.

For races with 30% homes, this means you cannot demolish to below 20% homes.
For races with 45% homes, you cannot demolish to below 30% homes.

If you overbuilt homes, you can still demolish to your optimal amount without issue.
