The game as it is is just too slow. It takes forever to finish a match. Things need to be balanced a bit to make the game faster. The only way to win in a reasonable timeframe right now (below 2 hours...) is if enemies disconnect, and even then it takes forever to push and kill their ancient/docks.

Here's the proposed changes:
- increase gold gain or make items cheaper, so progression is faster
- decrease building hp to make it faster to push
- increase respawn time for ships on higher levels
