This is just an idea off the top of my head. Lets get together Sunday to work out a real plan.
In the mean time everybody post your thoughts and ideas of what you would like to see the event look like.
We can pull it all together Sunday.

My only thought on points is this. This type of event is designed to bring new people into the game.
New players may not be able to afford to ramp up that fast. Plus remember no store in town stocks it YET.
Until then you have to allow time for people to get their next shipment of troops, then build them.
