Daily bonus

Every day, you can take your daily bonuses. Daily bonuses reset at the round's configured start hour. Round start times are set manually; the usual convention is odd-numbered rounds at 1800 UTC/server time and even-numbered rounds at 0000 UTC/server time.

• Land bonus: 20 acres of your racial home land type.
• Platinum bonus: 4 x Peasants platinum plus 350 Research Points.

Sometimes when taking daily land bonus, consider whose range you may enter (or leave) as this may affect who can invade you and which dominions you can invade and take actions against.

During the first two to four days, it is wise to wait with the platinum bonus until your population has caught up. From that point on, it's usually wise to take the platinum bonus early before you spend the whole day training units or exploring. The only exception is if you know you will have a lot of land incoming later that day which will increase your population.
