    Thats not the problem, the problem is that if the divided players have less starting mexes than the combined. It is a hard thing to judge though, so i think only obvious situations need restarting.

    I might agree with you if you can describe those obvious situations.

    Where the spawns are so unbalanced it is highly unlikely one team will win. Example: One team spawns next to one mex with a long walk. The other team spawns next to 4 mex each with good, easy, close mex expansions.

    Although a good example, this can still not be so obvious: Divided players have 8 with good expansions whereas combined have 9 with bad. Believe it or not there are maps out there with 9s :D.

    Think players should make that call; since it's subjective what constitutes a good/bad start in a team game. Only time where a re should be forced is when one side spawns on a HUGE patch with expansion whereas others spawn on a tiny, isolated patch (with no possible expansion).

    its impossible for the players to make the call at the start of the match, and will make it a huge waste of time playing it if one complains afterwards. But like i said, only the truly obvious situations (if there are any more than the one i mentioned) should require a restart.

    That time is only the official start. You can play your game any time you want.

    I have to go out tonight guys, I'll be back later to make a round 1 system. If you want to play before I sort this out go ahead, but do so on a 2 planet system of any configuration. Cheers!
