Please add some more modes or options so there wont be things 'lacking'. Like having different levels of amour instead of 10/20 or gold amounts. Armour and starting gold rarely match up in a balanced way.
Perhaps re-organise the options menu screen to something like this below. Clicking an option in gold and bounty menus will return to normal menu. No options = 3k normal
► (starting) Gold
[3000]
• 4k
• 5k
• 10k
• 20k
• 30k
► Amour Level
[1]
• +1
• +5
• -1
• Back
► Bounty
[Normal]
• HIgh creeps
• High tanks
• Both creeps & tanks
► Options
• Everything else - fog, cv, weak creeps, no requirements etc
► START GAME!
Maybe add a 5th menu for 'restrictions' although this can be in options. Things like no exploding, extended tank requirements, mines etc. This seems simpler, a lot of games use this method when there are many options (bt has many options) instead of the 'guided' mode selection. And this goes in line with my belief that there should be more options, incase no one ever works on this after, we dont want to be stuck with these pre-defined settings to choose from.
No one will accidentally pick the wrong mode because they must press start game. Pressing space bar by accident at the start will not start the game (as normal). The starting gold could use a custom system like the armour, but starting gold is fairly important to how you play, each different amount will change the game, but it could be fun.
Gold, Armour and Bounty decide the mode of the game and so have their own menu. The other stuff are just options.
Edit: Might as well throw in a poll
