A warm up...
...for those who get passed the loading screen faster. Kind of like how counter strike works. Once you've loaded to 100% in the loading screen, you are put into the game with a big amount of gold and at least level 6, so you can fool around while the rest of the players load into the game. Once everyone is in, the warm up timer goes down to 1 minute. When the timer ends, everyone is teleported back to base and the game restarts normally, from the 15 seconds waiting for base to open. Thoughts?
