maybe, but games probably will be a lot shorter too. no darkage is takes a couple minutes less and more aggressive games should often end earlier too

Do you need a different mod for the change in starting resources and moving stone walls to castle? If it can be done via map script that could make (future) spectating of the recorded games much easier I think

How will the teams be decided, by highest rating, current rating, a combination or something different?
And what does $1300 GTD mean (the GTD part)

You can build your dock whenever you want.

I want players to place their TC first and then the military buidlings.
