I've got to say I've always found Glest games to be too short, and too focused on rushing. It's already practically impossible to have a game last more than an hour, because you run out of resources on the entire map. In AI vs AI balance testing for some of my work, I actually HAVE to increase the resource count so that I can actually get long enough games to measure balance, and see how late-game units handle.

That said, it's nice to see someone else working on the mod front.

[Coldfusionstorm]

Resource count is actually increased for version 2, I actually do see some of your points with regards to the game lenght, perhaps what im really meaning is that games are too slow to start. and you never get to the point of getting late game units.
Airship and Dragon speed is increased also.

in regards to game time too, I think you mean AI games. In general AI games is just won/lost at certain points, there are no comeback mechanics imo. Once you've lost you've lost.
in general i don't think games should last more than 30 minutes, in very good games with comebacks and huge exciting battles, sneak attacks and the like it's okay to last up to a hour.

Thanks for the response!,  Just a single post is very encouraging!

Great mod, thanks for sharing. I prefer shorter games.

Hey, Coldfusionstorm!! Sorry for dropping out unexpectantly. I tried getting back earlier, but studies drained lots of time. Contact me on discord to work together again. I'll do some of the menial and repetitive tasks, as I'm not that good.
