Add options to start with more stuff (+120%, +160%) and doubled or tripled Tutorial rewards
Currently, you can choose to start with 40% or 80% more stuff, and that's it. All other difficulty settings create an on-going effect (i.e. stuff constantly costs less to build, or constantly requires less upkeep, and so forth), which to my mind is unattractive. I'd much rather be able to make the game easier for myself by making the start position easier, start with more resources, without making the on-going part of gameplay easier.
I'd also like more clarity as to which setting affects the amount of Crude Oil in the deposits on the island. Actually, ideally a separate setting for Crude Oil deposits, -25%, default, +25%, +50%, +100%. Again, a time-limited effect, not on-going.
Likewise, I'd like to see a new toggle added that lets me increase the Tutorial rewards (again, these being one-time.each events, not an on-going reduction of gameplay difficulty) by, say, 50%, 100% or 200%. Maybe also add a -50% and a "no rewards" options; I'm sure some would use those.
