Re: G40 and G41

Ditto GeeTwo. G40 and G41 are meant to shape the gameplay dynamics. Stronghold would be a very different game with very different scoring dynamics without them. At the least, the first 20 seconds of the match would be wildly different as teams tried to shuffle as many boulders as possible from the midline into their opponent's courtyard, and then follow them in to collect and score them. Having to drive each boulder across really slows down the flow rate and changes the balance between defense crossing and boulder scoring.

TLDR; G40 and G41 are they game you've been given to play and what you should've designed for. If you don't like them, petition IRI for an off-season rule change.
