Hmm... You know, it would kindof be nice to have a replay function :D  Perhaps 
at 5x the speed and zoomed out to see the entire map.  (Of course, not until 
after 1.0...)

I think this is largely a matter of opinion. Anyway, _most_ maps don't allow 
for something like this.  And, it's pretty simple to modify a map to make the 
stone separator wider.

I can't imagine anyone doing this, (at least more than once for kicks.)  If 
someone wants to play glob2, they will probably want a 'full' game. I don't 
see it as much of a problem.

I think this would feel like an artificial restriction.  Towers protected by 
resources is just a strategical position.
