Proposal:
This proposal is to correct a flaw in the game that does not allow newly invited players to play outside of the game rim.
Reason:
Newly invited players need to have a completely functional game experience. Currently, newly invited players are allowed to be invited outside of the game rim. However their game experience is limited to a single island with farming villages, and are only allowed to colonize that island once.
Details:
If an established player goes outside of the game rim (where the computer is placing new players), there are only small islands to colonize that have no farming villages. The large islands are "undeveloped" ie: do not have any anchor points or farming villages on them.
However, once a colony is established on a small island outside of the rim, the large islands surrounding it spawn anchor points that only allow you to invite a friend.
If you invite a friend to one of these newly spawned anchor points, the new player will get a 175 point city and that island will spawn 8 farming villages. The rest of the anchor points on that island (and the previously mentioned surrounding large islands) are still limited to inviting new players only.
So the new player is unable to colonize any additional cities on that island or any other island with farming villages unless he/she is able to send a CS within the game rim.
Observation - if the game is to allow new players to begin outside of the game rim, the game must be completely functional as if it was inside the rim. A new player is unaware that his/her gaming experience will be crippled by this flaw.
Fixes: There are 2 choices here,
1. eliminate all "invite a friend" anchor points that exist outside of the game rim so new players wont be spawned outside of the rim and suffer these limitations ..... or
2. change the anchor points that get spawned on these large islands to be both 'invite a friend' and 'found a city here' types to allow normal gameplay outside of the rim for newly invited players.
Visual Aids:
I can post a screenshot of an example if someone points me on how to create a 'spoiler' icon.
Balance/Abuse Prevention:
None that i can see, simply fixing the game one way or the other.
