I have on occasion thought that (a belated hello by the way!) but I balance that with the sense of achievement I've got from not having any advantages like that at the start and then seeing things improve. My first role (one I still play) was a small weak poor power. Ok, it's still a small power and hardly powerful or rich but when I look at how it's improved since I took over (vastly better military, income trebled...well until this year, now got a medical service, my honour is quite high), well it does feel an achievement.
I do think 90% of players do try to help new players-or at least not invade them for a bit
800 recruits is low but then I guess it must be a small nation (which seems unlikelty for Persia) or someone sent a recruiting party earlier in the year and nicked them all before you started? Honour score of 6 sounds about right for a starter but this is a good way to increase your income; behave honourably
Have a few banquets and invite your foreign ambassadors to them, do a few public works (even the cheaper ones can see your honour rise quickly) and you should find honour goes up quickly...which then is converted into 'personal wealth' income (on the February turn, I think). I often transfer it into the general treasury, only because I find it easier to have only one money pot, otherwise I get confused
EDIT: opps, just read your other messages so 'know' who you are now! So you'll already know a lot of what I've said above!

Only when the player first takes over of course. This would stop people killing a position then leaving a poor position to new blood. Being many years into a game, this would not effect established positions much either. It would just give a new player something to get their teeth into. This may help Agema keep more new blood into their already established games, without De-stableising the game and its original players. As an example, i have just taken a position in game two. We are in year 1735, i have eight hundred recruits and an honour score of six. I would like to hear the opinions on this interesting subject. My opinion is , that it will keep newcomers more interested, and give them more time to get hooked.
