Competition among players

Bonuses for new

A new player is immune to attacks for X time after founding his/her first colony.
How to make the room for a new player in a town dominated by a Species?

Competition about food when two (or more) colonies are near each other, even if the same Species. (Bigger population needs bigger distance)
- The server will hold a table with distance data between nearby colonies, in order to easy calculate if there is competition about the food that stops colonies to grow
- If 2 nearby colonies are of different Species some ant may get killed from time to time
Idea: Ability to help a small colony more often? To get new players something to do when they are eager.
