Change TSO Starter Pack Resources

[Tiletron]

Accumulating stone, wood, settlers or tools aren't really a problem when you master the necessities, but fully upgrading your most basic buildings are, even at Level 25 or above unless you purchase Gems.

My suggestion is to rollout a new starter pack for 2014 that keeps 4,000 gems, but exchanges the resources to 400 hardwood, 400 marble and 400 gold; giving people the ability to build up some of their basic buildings (such as masons, fishermen and pinewood facilities) so they don't have a constant grind to get anywhere. It would also be nice if there was at least one premium building - perhaps a Deerstalker Hut or School.

Tbh the starter pack is / was fine if used properly. Unfortunately most new starters aren't going to realise Nords is worth a considerable chunk of money and not much use until your high level. I wouldn't add buildings as it would become to overpowered if available a huge discounts like before, but a decent change might be to add 2 Jolly Geologists plus a few manuscripts. The booklet that comes with it could do with being better too, maybe change it to the settlers guide to the first 17 levels, how to find a guild (rather than a guild finding you).
