Strange server error that I actually enjoyed

    Unless I'm mistaken, whenever the gold limit is reached, servers always restart with a fresh map. After one particular game, however, the gold limit returned to its initial point upon the "blue wins" message, and the match restarted with all of our progress still there. I really enjoyed playing on the same map twice. It gives you more time to build structures and watch the world that you've grown semi-attached to evolve more.

    I believe that after a gold limit is reached, players should be allowed to vote on whether or not they want a fresh map for the next round. I mean, there's not really much of a reason why the option shouldn't be there. There may need to be a tweak when it comes to regrowing trees, but even after round 2, there were still plenty of them for archers and ladders.

    Great job on the game, guys. I just downloaded it yesterday, and there must have been three or four updates since then. I'm super impressed =)

    On a full server, by the end of the map most of the stone and gold are gone by the end of the round.
    I can see this being fun in a round with 12v12 or something like that, but this would be pretty awful in a full game.

    Or you know, just a gamemode where a team can only win untill every last bit of gold has been excavated.

    This was actually my initial plan to not restart the map but issue a vote to restart or not. I might add this again as a server option.

    What if when the game was finished, the map simply got everything underground reset with the gold in new locations, but everything above ground stayed the same. This way you wouldn't lose your cool castle you had just finished.

    The vote system sounds the best for me.

    Then mod it in when the scripting build comes out! Posting in this thread is kind of moot because it's more than a year old.
