With the resource generation now by tick instead of by turn, I'm collecting gold from my castle on turn 0. Not a huge deal since everyone is equal still, but I expect that technically this should not be occurring.

It seems not only is gold building up on turn 0, but so are movement points and BP. This is a much bigger issue than the gold.

For example, game starts and player 1 immediately logs in and moves. Player 2 doesn't log in until just before turn 0 ends and moves. Player 1 has basically just received a full free turn of movement. In the right position this could mean player 1 can freely collect one or more of the outlying resource piles without player 2 having any chance of making it there first.

I had the same thing with the MP and BP in slow 6 and had forgotten to post (thanks for the reminder), so I will jump on Fan's post and say that this also happened in slow 6 and I suspect it's a game-wide change (probably went along with the new gains with each tick system).

couldn't we move on turn 0 anyway? and didn't we get 11000 gold on turn 1 as well with out the changes?

so now with the changes you have full movment points on turn 1 where as if you move on turn 0, 3 hours before turn 1 you will have to wait the full amount of time (game hour length) till you would be able to move, in this case 3 hours till turn 2.

The income is coming in on the hourly baises untill the full amount is reached on the next turn, so would you rather not collect the 1K gold for turn 1?

I don't think there is a bug here, just somone who has already forgoten how the game progressed before the changes.

Yes you could move on turn 0, but you didn't rebuild movement during turn 0. This is a HUGE advantage to those who know when the game starts and can log in right then. The gold isn't really much of an issue, and yes it is probably the same anyway - I don't recall if you got your first 1000 at the beginning of turn 1 or not.
