2 things:
1. reveal map right at start very shortly. This gives builders the ability to queue shift orders wich makes it much easier at start and you can chat a little.
2. if a builder dies and turns into a minion all shift-orders get canceled. This can be rly annoying. fix pls

c & c pls

i agree with number 1 needing changing, as well as number 2, but i don't know how it works with the builder being turned into a minion, so i don't know whether its doable,

though isn't there an advanced option to play with the map explored when you host?

Im fine with 1 the way it is, puts you in more of a rush to build faster than ifyou have everything queued.

Not really free... Depends on the races, and the skill of the titan/builders.

Reveal map wouldn't be fair because builders could que up entire bases w/o exploring them at all.

The people who que usually know how to play, and the people who know how to play don't base in the few minutes. You can que after someone dies, and most people base after someone dies unless the titan never got a minion.

lol,
How is that imba? Beside you can just scout with a worker or turtle if you want to que up your base. Isn't that imba? :O

Na, seriusly. It doesn't give you any great advantage to que up your base before you're in there. You can't build workers wile queing wile you're in the base, k, but that's not important at all. Any other difference?

And beside from that, you should make a suggestion to not reveal the map for builder if a builder dies. I mean, it's kind of imba Tongue

About the second one. This is done by a 0.01 second Cinematic sequence, wich could obviously be erased. It would be good.

I disagree, I immediately set up a lumber base as soon as possible (normally top left or right) and hustle my ass back to middle.  If someone has died in the 2-4 minutes it takes me to set up a full lumber base then it wasn't worth waiting to build a lumber base.  As a gold builder, I can see the need to get gold before lumber but once again, if someone dies early that leaves you with MAYBE enough for a merchant.  If the map was revealed at game start, it would influence everyone (that matters, anyway) to lumber base as early as possible, which can influence less experienced titans to leave the gold mound earlier.

It wouldn't influence anyone at all. The noobs will stay in their own stuck up manners, and do what they think is best each game. The newbs won't know how to play, so it doesn't matter once again. The above average players can make up a quick lumber base and be at the gold 10-30 seconds after the titan spawned.

As for my post you were referring too, I was talking about an actual base, not a lumber base.
