Gold rush is the superior FFA map.

When playing (non diplo) FFA, the only reason for destroying others is to secure extra resources. It's better to boom, create an army for defense and let the others waste resources on fighting each others.

This makes FFA games often really long. No one should attack until they are clearly superior to everyone else which rarely happens. You need to be able to destroy every other player alone in order to win. If gold runs out this becomes nearly impossible and the game becomes a stalemate.

However in Gold rush everyone is fighting for the same resources in the middle. Center is full of action. This makes the game faster. Additionally the gold in the middle makes the player who can hold the center overpowered, so it is easier to reach the tipping point where they can even win 1v3 as opponents only have trash.

This is why gold rush is the superior FFA map. Just wanted all of you to know.
