Biggest change seems like the tax on cities with 0 income. Those dudes at the top of the leader board are not going to be happy, especially when you add in the drop from 1.5-1% for distribution.
Overall I feel like the distribution will hit a balance no matter the percentage. If the goal is to grow the distribution pool then I think this lower percentage is a good move. I think the majority of cities are getting their primary income from SIM but the daily HIVE bonus is always nice.
haha, no I think these changes are great.
The 1% payout will mean a bigger reward pool and although my 0 income city is on 1st position, i think it will benefit the game to penalize 0 income cities.
